I am missing the voting method mentioned somewhere. There is the "Then select your preferred candidates in order of preference." sentence but no explanation how the preference actually affects the result. I would add something like<br>
<br>
The voting method is single transferable vote (STV) so in the end only one of your candidates gets your vote (in the order of your preference).<br>
<br>
Anyone else thinks it is important enough to be included or is it too complex and would confuse the matter? I am trying to prevent possible confusion. Without knowing the method people might think that by making the list of candidates the vote would somehow be proportionally counted for more/all candidates on the list or whatever.<br>
