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.

A system that may be considered a variant of the Supplementary Vote has been used to elect the President of [[Sri Lanka]] since 1982. Under the Sri Lankan system voters are permitted to express, from among the list of candidates, not just a first and second but also a third preference.
In the past, the [[Australia|Australian]] state of [[Queensland]] used a variant of the Supplementary Vote, known as the "'''Contingent Vote'''", between [[1892]] and [[1942]]. A form of SV was also briefly used in [[Alabama]] from [[1915]]-[[1931]]. The name of the "Supplementary Vote" was coined in [[1993]] by the [[United Kingdom]] [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]]
