write a short note on single transferrable vote. (in 60-80 words)

Dear student,

Please find the answer to your query:

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. 
Hope these points will be helpful to you and if you have more doubts then please get back to us on our forum.
