Q
how does it work?
A
UnderAV, the voter adds a number by the name of each candidate, one tor their favourite, two for their second tavourite and so on. They can put numbers by as many or as few candidates names as they wish. This is similar to STV except that AV retains
single-member constituencies. Also, there is no quota. It a candidate receives more than half the votes in the first stage, that candidate is elected. If nobody gets halt, whichever candidate came last is eliminated and their second preference votes are redistributed. This process is repeated until one candidate gets at least half the vote.
