What is the primary goal of the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system?
BeginnerTo achieve proportional representation in multi-member districts
STV is designed to produce proportional representation in multi-member districts, ensuring that the distribution of seats reflects the distribution of votes among parties or groups.
In STV, what is a 'quota'?
BeginnerThe minimum number of votes a candidate needs to be elected
The quota is the minimum number of votes required for a candidate to be elected. A common formula is the Droop quota: (total valid votes / (seats + 1)) + 1.
How are surplus votes of an elected candidate transferred in STV?
IntermediateThey are transferred to the next preferred candidate on the ballot papers
Surplus votes (votes above the quota) are transferred to the next preferred candidate on each ballot paper, ensuring that votes are not wasted and that the proportionality is maintained.
What happens to the votes of a candidate who is eliminated in STV?
IntermediateThey are transferred to the next preferred candidate on each ballot
When a candidate is eliminated, their votes are transferred to the next preferred candidate on each ballot paper who is still in the race, ensuring that votes continue to influence the outcome.
