Single transferable vote

Evaluation > Rounds > Add round > Voting type

With this type of voting, votes may be transferred according to alternate preferences. While a vote is initially allocated to the voter’s first preference, it may subsequently be transferred according to alternate preferences if the application is eliminated or has received surplus votes. As a result, this type of voting is recommended for single and multiple-winner outcomes, rather than rankings.

To set it up, go to Evaluation > Rounds > Add round > Voting type and select Single transferable vote.

Voting limitations

  • Number of preferences — set the number of preferences each voter gets. This setting defines the number of ranking options for your voters.

  • Number of winners — set the number of winners that can be selected with this round. This setting has no impact on the actual voting experience, only on the evaluation result.

You can also choose to leave judge comments as optional or disable them.
