So, elections coming up and I just got my ballot paper.

Three candidates, STV, one position. Quite a serious vote, so naturally I sha'n;t actually do it based on a LJ poll. I'm just curious.

[Poll #668449]

Single Transferable Vote

It's the one where you rank your choices, and if your first choice gets least votes, then your second choice gets taken into account.

Of course it's really Alternative Vote rather than STV given you can't really have any proportionality when you're only filling a single position.

I'll refrain from filling in the poll (much as I'd like to) as I don't really think it'd be appropriate for me to suggest anything.

Ah yes, I always get the two confused.
