How does STV improve local representation?
STV improves local representation by ensuring that more voters elect a candidate of their choice, broadening the points of view and giving MLAs a greater incentive to serve. Currently only 40 -50% of voters have an MLA they voted for – MLAs can ignore the rest. With STV, 80 – 90% of voters will help elect an MLA. What’s more, STV encourages comparison-shopping for voters, both within and across party lines.
