 * *Scottish STV*: Rules from the [*Scottish Local Government Elections Order 2011*](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2011/399/schedule/1/made), using the weighted inclusive Gregory method. Validated against the [2007 Scottish local government election result for Linn ward](https://web.archive.org/web/20121004213938/http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/YourCouncil/Elections_Voting/Election_Results/ElectionScotland2007/LGWardResults.htm?ward=1&wardname=1%20-%20Linn).
 * [*Meek STV*](http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.NSF/Files/meekm/%24file/meekm.pdf): Advanced STV rules designed for computer counting, recognised by the Proportional Representation Society of Australia (Victoria–Tasmania) as the superior STV system.
 	* *Meek STV (1987)* operates according to the original [Hill–Wichmann–Woodall specification](https://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.NSF/Files/meekm/%24file/meekm.pdf) of Meek STV, with the modifications, relevant only in exceptional cases, that (a) fixed-point arithmetic with 5 decimal places is used, and (b) candidates are elected on strictly exceeding the quota. Validated against the Hill–Wichmann–Woodall implementation for the [ERS97 model election](https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/latest-news-and-research/publications/how-to-conduct-an-election-by-the-single-transferable-vote-3rd-edition/#sub-section-24).
-	* *Meek STV (2006)* operates according to [Hill's 2006 revisions](http://www.votingmatters.org.uk/ISSUE22/I22P2.pdf). This is the algorithm referred to in OpenSTV/OpaVote as ‘Meek STV’, and forms the basis of New Zealand's Meek STV rules. Validated against OpenSTV for the ERS97 model election.

 * [*PRSA 1977*](https://www.prsa.org.au/rule1977.htm): Simple rules designed for hand counting, using the exclusive Gregory method, with counting automatically performed in thousandths of a vote. Validated against [example 1](https://www.prsa.org.au/example1.pdf) of the PRSA's [*Proportional Representation Manual*](https://www.prsa.org.au/publicat.htm#p2).
