The '''Supplementary Vote''' (SV) is a [[voting system]] used for the election of a single candidate. Under SV each voter ranks from among the list of candidates a first and a second preference. If no candidate receives an absolute majority of votes on the first count all but the two leading candidates are eliminated and the second preferences of those who voted for eliminated candidates are redistributed to help determine a winner.
