Single non-transferable vote: Difference between revisions

{{see-wp}}SNTV is [[Choose-one FPTP voting|choose-one FPTP voting]] applied to the multi-winner context. It is a semi-proportional method.

SNTV passes a very weak form of Droop-[[PSC]]: if a group of voters of at least k Droop quotas perfectly evenly distribute their votes between k candidates (meaning none of the k candidates has more than one vote more than any of the other k candidates)

, they can guarantee all of those candidaten.n. i This is because, of the (number of winners) candidates with the most votes who are not one of the k candidates, at most ((number of winners) - k) of them can not be one of the k candidates. For example, if there are 5 seats, and a group of voters of 2 Droop quotas equally supports 2 candidesat, then at most any other 4 candidates can each get less than a Droop quota (because there can only be (number of winners) Droop quotas of voters in the election, since this is one of the properties of a Droop quota) and thus the 2 candidates are guaranteed to be among the top 5 and win.
