STV

Read a random definition: injunction

A quick definition of STV:

STV stands for single transferable vote, which is a type of preferential voting system. In this system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If a candidate receives enough first-choice votes to win, they are elected. If not, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are transferred to the next preferred candidate on each ballot. This process continues until enough candidates reach the threshold or the number of surviving candidates equals the number of representatives still to be elected. STV is also known as transferable vote or choice voting.

A more thorough explanation:

STV stands for single transferable vote. It is a type of preferential vote where a voter ranks their choices in order of preference. Under STV, a candidate wins if they reach a certain number of first-choice votes, called the threshold. If no candidate reaches the threshold, the least-preferred candidate is eliminated and their votes are transferred to the next-preferred candidate on each ballot. This process continues until enough candidates reach the threshold or the number of surviving candidates equals the number of representatives still to be elected.

Example: In a school election, there are five candidates running for three positions. Each voter ranks the candidates in order of preference. After the first round of counting, no candidate has reached the threshold. The candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are transferred to the next-preferred candidate on each ballot. This process continues until three candidates reach the threshold and are elected.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
