This modification to STV addresses to some extent one of the criticisms made by STV advocates about single-winner methods other than IRV:<blockquote>Furthermore, approval, score, and Condorcet were all designed to be used in single-winner elections only. Ranked choice voting works well for both single-winner ''and'' multi-winner elections. For elections that involve a mixture of single-winner and multi-winner races, we strongly prefer the simplicity of using a uniform voting method across the board.<ref>https://www.fairvote.org/how_is_rcv_better_than_approval_score_or_condorcet_voting_methods</ref></blockquote>{{sectstub}}
== Notes ==
STV and IRV can be visualized using Sankey or flow diagrams. If, in a given round, a candidate reaches the quota (a majority in IRV), they win, and if more seats are to be filled, then a quota of their votes are spent. This could be visualized by arranging the candidates from most votes to fewest in each round, and then showing a threshold for how many votes the candidate with the most votes in that round needs to win. Here is one example: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8we8ep/sankey_diagram_of_results_from_maines_democratic/
