Whangarei District Mayoral Election Process
What is a Single Transferable Vote?
Under a Single Transferable Vote (STV) electoral system, voters rank candidates in their order of preference.
With a Single Transferable Vote system:
- Electors rank candidates in their order of preference - '1' for your first choice, '2' for your second choice, '3' for your third choice and so on.
- The number of votes required for a candidate to be elected (called the quota) depends on the number of positions to be filled and the number of valid votes.
- The necessary number of candidates to fill all vacancies is achieved:
- First by counting of the first preferences;
- Then by transfer of a proportion of votes received by any candidate where the number of votes for that candidate exceeds the quota.1
