Have you ever considered a ranked voting system for your organization's elections? 🤔 While it is widely used by national governments in Australia, the UK, and beyond to ensure proportional representation, the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system is quickly becoming a popular choice for organizations, universities, and associations looking to run highly collaborative elections. Instead of selecting just one candidate, STV allows your members to rank their preferences (1, 2, 3...). If their first choice doesn’t receive enough votes to win, their support simply transfers to their next choice! Why are modern organizations adopting STV? 🔸Honest Expression: Members can rank their true favorites without feeling the need to vote strategically. 🔸 Fair Representation: Diverse groups and independent candidates get a fair opportunity to secure a seat. 🔸 Broader Consensus: Winners are elected with the widest possible support from the community. Curious how STV works and who is using it?
