SINGLE TRANSFERABLE VOTE COUNTER

Number of Seats: Number of Candidates: Number of Votes:
This piece of Javascript will calculate the result of an election conducted using the single transferable vote. It is based on the alternative vote calculator.

The script uses the Weighted Inclusive Gregory Method for reallocating surplus votes. The quota for election is (number of votes)/(number of seats + 1) rounded up to two decimal places. At each stage of the count, if more than one candidate has surplus votes, the largest surplus will be transfered first. All ties are broken randomly.
