How many votes do I need?

What voting system do you use?

  • We use the Single Transferable Vote formula (STV), meaning that the voter ranks candidates in their order of preference on their ballot. Votes are initially allocated to the voter’s first preference but can be passed on if their first-choice is eliminated, meaning that every vote counts!
