3 has most first preferences, so on First Past the Post would be the
winner. However, it doesn't have an absolute majority, so you may want to
commit Single Transferable Voting. In this case, you need to look at the
second preferences of those people whose first preference was 2. If they
all voted for 1, then 1 has enough votes to gain an overall majority.
Otherwise, 3 still wins.

Quite clear here - 1.2 has all the first preference votes.

3.6 has all the first preference votes.
