Can you explain "STV" please. (What do the letters mean?)
Single Transferable Vote. To our purposes, in our very simple election,
this is a single-turn replacement for the mechanism I originally
proposed (i.e., remove the least voted candidate at each round).
Are folks required to rank all of the candidates in their ballots?
No.
Seen from a voter's perspective this means: choose the subset of
candidates that are acceptable to you, then rank them. If you only like
one candidate, you obviously write his/her name only; if you like more
than one, list the ones you like in order of preference, starting with
the one you like most.
