Under the single transferable vote system, each voter has the ability to indicate as many preferences as there are candidates to be elected. This means that voters can rank candidates in order of preference, with their top choice being their first preference, the second choice being their second preference, and so on. The system allows voters to have a say in the election of multiple candidates, as their preferences can be redistributed if their top choice is not elected or does not require all of their votes. This method aims to ensure that candidates with the broadest support are elected and that every vote counts towards the final results.
