The following points will be helpful to you while framing your answer:
- Single transferable vote is the proportion electoral representation system.
- Each constituency sends a team of MPs that represent the diversity of opinion in that constituency to parliament.
- In the polling station, voters put numbers next to candidates in order of preference.
- To get elected, candidates need to reach a set share of the votes, determined by the number of positions to be filled.
- Each voter gets one vote, which can transfer from their first-preference to their second-preference
- So if the preferred candidate has no chance of being elected or has enough votes already, the vote is transferred to your second choice candidate in accordance with your instructions.
Regards
