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, they can guarantee all of those candidates win.

Notes

SNTV can be combined with Party List by allowing each voter to give their vote to a party or to a candidate; the parties can each be allocated a certain number of seats, while independents can still win on their own. Note that this is possible even in the single-winner case (where SNTV is equivalent to the common choose-one FPTP voting method) to ensure that a plurality or majority elect someone from their preferred group of candidates, if there are many candidates in that group splitting the vote. The cast votes can also themselves be used to decide who within the Party List should win i.e. the candidates on the list with the most votes can be prioritized.
