The
single transferable vote (
STV) is a
voting system designed to achieve or closely approach
proportional representation through the use of multiple-member
constituencies and each voter casting a single ballot on which candidates are
ranked. The preferential (ranked) balloting allows transfer of votes to produce proportionality, to form consensus behind select candidates and to avoid the
waste of votes prevalent under other voting systems.
[1] Another name for STV is
multi-winner ranked-choice voting.[2]
