What is STV and where is it used?
Single Transferable Vote is a modern, well-established voting system, and the longest-established form of proportional representation. Countries that use STV include Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. It has been proposed for use in Wales. BC-STV has been tailored by the Citizens’ Assembly to fit British Columbia. It is compatible with our parliamentary system, gives political parties a balanced role and strengthens the relationship between MLAs and the voters. Its design ensures voters have effective voices in government.
