Peter If you haven't already found the Church of England Regulations for "STV with constraints", they are here: http://www.churchofengland.org/media/1307318/stv%20regulations.doc These are the only published regulations for "STV with constraints" that I know of.
Your first link (below) is to a Joe Otten paper that describes one way of "ordering a list with STV". If that is one of the tasks you have, you may find it useful also to look at the method devised by Colin Rosenstiel: http://www.cix.co.uk/~rosenstiel/stv/orderstv.htm and http://www.cix.co.uk/~rosenstiel/stv/ordstvdt.htm James Gilmour > -----Original Message----- > From: election-methods-boun...@lists.electorama.com > [mailto:election-methods-boun...@lists.electorama.com] On > Behalf Of Peter Zbornik > Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 10:55 AM > To: Election Methods; election-methods > Subject: [EM] STV and single constraints, like gender quotas > > > Dear all, > > do anyone of you know the best way to incorporate single > constraints into STV and proportional rankings from STV (see > for instance: http://www.votingmatters.org.uk/issue9/p5.htm)? > For instance, the constraint can be that at least 1/3 of the > elected seats go to candidates of each gender.
