| | Single Transferable Vote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In STV elections to the Australian Senate, states with vastly different populations have the same number of seats, and so while the results for individual states are proportional, the nationwide result is not, giving greater voting power to individual voters in less populated states. | | | STV is also susceptible to the Alabama paradox: a candidate elected in an n seat constituency may or may not be elected in the same constituency with n + 1 seats even when voters express exactly the same preferences. | | | This is 4/20, or 20% of all the votes cast. |

| | ALTERNATIVE VOTING SYSTEMS |
| | Bills to implement approval voting have been introduced in some state legislatures in the United States; in l987, a bill to mandate approval voting in certain statewide elections passed the Senate but not the House in North Dakota. | | | If each voter has six votes to cast for as many as six candidates, and if each of the l00 voters in the minority casts three votes each for only two candidates, these voters can ensure the election of these two candidates no matter what the 200 voters in the majority do. | | | Despite being the Condorcet candidate, however, his or her election would be obviated by plurality voting, with or without a runoff. |

| | Single non-transferable vote - encyclopedia article about Single non-transferable vote. |
| | This led to a system of vote allocation which had been adopted by all parties for the 2004 ROC Legislative elections. | | | In voting systems, tactical voting (or strategic voting) occurs when a voter misrepresents his or her sincere preferences in order to gain a more favorable outcome. | | | In Puerto Rico, where SNTV is known as at-large representation ("representación por acumulación" in Spanish), political parties vary the ballot order of their candidates across electoral divisions, in order to ensure each candidate has a roughly equal chance of being elected. |

| | Single Transferable Vote in B.C. |
| | After this distribution, if there are still seats to be filled, then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and his or her votes go to the second choice on the ballots. | | | The reforms were approved by the electorate (after a second national election where the winning party again received fewer votes than the opposition) and the constitution was changed in 1987. | | | The Laois-Offaly vote underlines some points made for and against STV: The "safe seat" did not hold (I haven't seen transfer analysis that would say if it was lost to the other FG candidate). |

| | If the voter's first choice candidate does not need their vote, either because he or she is elected without it, or because he or she has too few votes to be elected, then the vote is transferred to the voter's second choice candidate, and so on. | | | There is no evidence in Britain that local casework-based candidates poll better than national names, often voters like to be represented by national names who may have little day to day contact with the constituency. | | | Any changes would have to be backed by a majority since public opinion is reflected fairly in elections under STV. |

| | STV uses multi-member districts, with voters ranking candidates in order of preference on the ballot paper in the same manner as the Alternative Vote (see Alternative Vote). | | | Any candidate who has more first preferences than the quota is immediately elected. | | | After the total number of first-preference votes are counted, the count then begins by establishing the "quota" of votes required for the election of a single candidate. |
