Voting Information

The STV (single transferable voting system) is used for electing DHB board members.



What is STV? 


STV is a system of proportional representation that enables voters to rank candidates in order of preference; those preferences then determining the overall result of the election.

When casting an STV vote, voters write a “1” beside the candidate they most prefer, a “2” beside the candidate they next prefer, and so on. There are no ticks or crosses, just numbers.

When you vote, you can rank as many or as few candidates as you like, but you cannot assign the same ranking to more than one candidate.  For example, you cannot write “1” against two candidates.

For further information access the Single Transferable Voting website.
