What is Preferential Voting system?
Answer
👉Preferential voting is a system of voting in which voters indicate their first, second, and lower choices of several candidates for a single office.
👉Under this, a voter can choose just one candidate, but also rank candidates in an order of preference.
👉If a candidate wins 50% of the mandate plus one vote, he/she is declared the winner.
👉But if the candidate falls short of this threshold, the candidates are ranked again based on the second choice of a voter.
👉And if this still falls below the threshold, the contest moves on to the third round, and so on.
👉This system of voting is used for elections to the House of Representatives in Australia and to elect some mayors in New Zealand, along with some other countries.
The difference between preferential voting and proportional representation voting is that in proportional representation voting more than one member can be elected for each electorate but in preferential voting only one member can be elected for each electorate.
