	Single Transferable Vote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of 2006, STV is used for elections in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland (except elections to the British House of Commons) and Malta.
		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.
		Another issue commonly considered with STV elections is the size of the voting districts in terms of the number of candidates elected and, to a lesser extent, the total size of the body being elected.

	ALTERNATIVE VOTING SYSTEMS
		STV is nonmonotonic, which means that a candidate can be hurt when raised in the rankings of some voters, and additional-member systems may make it advantageous for parties to throw elections in districts without a strategyproofness constraint, whose satisfaction impedes proportional representation.
		Although STV is known to violate a number of properties of voting systems discussed in the literature on social choice theory (Kelly, l987), it has a number of strengths as a system of proportional representation.
		The first shows that STV is vulnerable to "truncation of preferences" when two out of four candidates are to be elected, the second that it is also vulnerable to "nonmonotonicity" when there is one candidate to be elected and there is no transfer of so-called surplus votes.

	CPO-STV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reason for these problems is that sometimes STV eliminates, at an early stage in the count, a candidate who might have gone on to be elected later had they been allowed to remain in the contest.
		The reason Delilah does not win under traditional STV arises from the particular stage at which she is eliminated from the count.
		Under some, older forms of STV it is possible to increase the influence of ones vote by giving a first, or high preference to a candidate one knows is highly unlikely to win.

	STV Overview
		STV courses explore the many ways in which technology and science affect and are affected by human values and social institutions.
		STV offers a way to explore ethical, political, historical and cultural aspects of science and technology that effect both the environment in which business must be conducted, as well as the character of business practices themselves.
		STV courses, with the exception of the STV 256/20556 core course, may be taken as electives on a space-available basis by students enrolled in any of the four undergraduate Colleges.

	Voting Systems - dKosopedia
		The mathematics for IRV is identical with the mathematics for STV.
		The STV system is complex but allows for a system of voting based on individual candidate preference to also produce a party proportional result.
		STV is especially relevant in the US because it can be used to elect a single executive (the Irish president), a single legislator (Australian representatives) or a group of legislators (Australian senators and Irish deputies).

	Malta: STV With Some Twists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This is not a by-election in the conventional sense; instead the winner is determined by applying STV procedures to the ballot papers credited to the vacating candidate in the general election.
		It is clear, however, that under Malta's version of STV, minorities would be assured of their ability to elect candidates of their choice irrespective of the preferences of the majority as long as their members make up 17 percent of the voters in any district [Quota = votes/(5+1) +1].
		One thing is hardly in doubt, however: STV hands voters the most sophisticated instrument to express their preferences; it meticulously aggregates these diverse preferences and translates them into parliamentary representation.

	Vote No to BC-STV
		Some proponents of STV claim that the opportunity to rank as many candidates as appear on the ballot is a form of increased choice, but that confuses how ballots are marked with how ballots are counted.
		Under STV some voters never have their second preference counted, many never have their third preference counted, and most never have anything beyond that given even fractional weight.
		The Australian website, recommended by the Citizens' Assembly, says that one of the disadvantages of STV is that: "Some voters have their preferences counted more times than others, so they appear to be more valuable." That is because not all votes are re-distributed so as to have a voter's second preference counted.

	Single transferable vote - Electowiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		STV does not guarantee that a party will get the same percentage of seats as it gets as a percentage of votes.
		The proportionality of STV can be controversial, especially in close elections such as the 1981 election in Malta.
		Advocates of STV argue that the apparent disproportionality in STV is indicative of poor support for the party's candidates in second and third preferences.

		When used as an autoguider, the STV head will fit in a separate guide scope or may be used in place of a cross-hair guiding eyepiece in most typical off-axis guider assemblies.
		If one wishes to connect a computer to the STV while it is in operation, digital images may be downloaded to the computer with the push of a button on the STV control box.
		When the large cross hairs are moved to a third location the digital readout on the STV automatically displays the separation in arc seconds from the previous star or location marked by the small cross-hairs.

	thetyee.ca Why I'm for STV
		STV is being used because other than the first-past-the-post system currently in place, this is the most likely to yield results favourable to the right-wing.
		STV is complicated, just as programming a VCR, using a microwave, or surfing the web is. Its complicated because its not what we are used to and has a strange acronym, not because of there being anything wrong with the way it works.
		STV will not necessarily produce results that are proportional to the percentage of votes given to a particular party (especially if that percentage is low) and STV will do away with locally nominated candidates as happened in Australia.

	STV for BC - Vote Yes! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A final factor was that, undeniably, some of the people who argued and voted against STV did so not because they preferred the current system to STV but because they wanted to have a chance to vote for a third system, the Mixed Member Proportional system, which was the second choice of the Citizen's Assembly.
		One of the reasons the Citizen's Assembly did not choose STV was that they were constrained by their mandate to not increase the number of MLA's elected in B.C., an arbitrary and unnecessary restriction.
		STV is not some kind of cure-all but it clearly provides more benefits than the current system used in the USA and Canada.

	The Grey Shade: In Defence of STV
		Michael Bassett's specific objections to STV are that it is too complex, too many spoiled or blank ballots, the particular version used in NZ was the wrong one, second preferences of elected candidates get less weight than those of excluded candidates and that the final results were incomprehensible.
		It is hardly surprising that the DHB elections (no wards, no real power and large numbers of candidates the voter has never heard of) would be prime candidates for blank ballots from electors who voted for their Mayor or City Council on the same sheet.
		With multi-member electorates (eg council wards) STV redistributes both the total vote of excluded (lowest polling) candidates and the "surplus" votes of elected candidates and is an (approximately) proportional representation system.

		It is also used in Australia for elections to the Tasmanian House of Assembly, the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly, and the federal Senate (see The Alternative Vote in Australia); and in Northern Ireland local elections.
		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).
		In most cases this preference marking is optional, and voters are not required to rank-order all candidates; if they wish they can mark only one.

	Electoral Reform Society
		An important feature of STV is that voters can choose between candidates both of their own and of other parties, and can even select candidates for reasons other than party affiliation.
		STV does more than other systems to guarantee that everyone gets their views represented in parliament and that they have a say in what is done by their elected representatives.
		Under STV all existing MPs can stand for election, and may have an advantage in being better known than their new colleagues.

		Those rules ending in `STV' satisfy the conventional requirements to be regarded as a Single Transferable Vote counting rule.
		Hence the situation of the moment is that you may use this database to discover that a specific election E gives a different result with rules X and Y. You would then need to repeat these two election counts and examine the output to discover the reason for this.
