  • A conceptual primer on the single transferable vote – 6: Meek method

    16 June 2022 (updated 18 June 2022) | single transferable vote opentally | Comment

    In part 5, we presented the weighted inclusive Gregory method. In that part and all previous parts, during the distribution of preferences we have ‘skipped over’ any candidates who have already been elected, as we said that to give extra votes to any of… »

  • A conceptual primer on the single transferable vote – 5: Weighted inclusive Gregory method

    In part 4, we presented the Gregory method, which removes random effects from STV. In that part, we continued with a decision made in part 3 to restrict the ballot papers which can contribute to a surplus distribution, yielding the exclusive Gregory method.

    In part 3, we discussed a refinement to random transfer STV, noting that even in refined form it is still subject to random effects. In this part, we introduce a method which eliminates randomness from STV completely.

    For the sake of illustration, let's again… »

    28 May 2022 (updated 15 July 2022) | single transferable vote opentally | Comment

    The single transferable vote (STV) is a family of multiple-winner voting systems which provide proportional representation by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.

    This series provides a primer on the principles of STV, from its conceptual foundations through to contemporary developments in… »
