Supplementary vote
- How it works
- Used to elect a single person ie a major or a president
- The voter gets two votes, a first and then a second/supplementary.
- If no one initially gets 50%. Then all but the top get eliminated and votes are distributed by the 2nd vote
- Used to elect a single person ie a major or a president
- Where it is used
- The London mayoral elections
- The London mayoral elections
- Advantages
- It is simpler than AV, so would be easier for voters to understand and use
- The candidate is likely to have over 50%
- The focus on gaining second preferences means that conciliatory campaigning is
encouraged. There is a more to consensus
- It is simpler than AV, so would be easier for voters to understand and use
- Disadvantages
- Candidate does not need to have 50% to win so lacks the mandate unlike AV
- Some people find the ballot paper confusing. Spoilt West Midlands PCC ballot papers 2016
- Favours the larger parties the 2nd choice usually
is between labour and the conservatives
- Could make all the parties too similar
- Only favours better representation if there is a strong third party
- Candidate does not need to have 50% to win so lacks the mandate unlike AV
