Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The single transferable vote (STV) is a preferential voting system designed to minimize wasted votes in multi-candidate elections while ensuring that votes are explicitly for candidates rather than party lists. It works by assigning candidates votes based on the number of voters who ranked them 1st, electing candidates who reach a certain threshold of votes ("quota") and spending those votes to ensure as-of-yet unrepresented voters can get someone they like, and otherwise eliminating the candidate with the fewest 1st choices and then treating the uneliminated candidate their voters ranked next-highest as their "new" 1st choice. |
