Supplementary vote
- Majoritarian
- How does it work?
- Voters have two votes, a first and a second
(supplementary vote)
- First choice votes counted
- If a candidate wins 50% of the vote, they are elected
- If no candidate reaches 50%, the supplementary votes are
added to the top two candidates totals
- The other candidates are eliminated and any
supplementary votes for the remaining two are added to
their totals.
- The candidate with the most votes altogether wins
- The candidate with the most votes altogether wins
- The other candidates are eliminated and any
supplementary votes for the remaining two are added to
their totals.
- If a candidate wins 50% of the vote, they are elected
- First choice votes counted
- Voters have two votes, a first and a second
(supplementary vote)
- Single member constituency
- Advantages
- Ensures fewer voes are wasted
than with FPTP
- As winning candidates must gain 50%
support, a broader range of views and
opinions influence outcome
- Ensures fewer voes are wasted
than with FPTP
- Disadvantages
- The outcome of the election may be determined by the
preferences of those who with their first choices support small,
possibly extremist parties
- Winning candidates could enjoy little first preference support and only
succeed with the help of redistributed votes, making them only the least
popular of the final two candidates
- The outcome of the election may be determined by the
preferences of those who with their first choices support small,
possibly extremist parties
- Where is it used?
- London Mayor elections
- London Mayor elections
