Electoral Systems Questions
The single non-transferable vote plus (SNTV+) electoral system is a variant of the single non-transferable vote (SNTV) system. In SNTV+, voters cast a single vote for a candidate in a multi-member district, and the candidates with the highest number of votes are elected. However, in SNTV+, there is an additional provision that limits the number of candidates a voter can support to a certain number, typically less than the total number of seats available. This restriction aims to prevent the concentration of votes on a few candidates and promote a more proportional representation of different political groups.
