Abstract
Single Transferable Vote (STV) counting, used in several jurisdictions in
Australia, is a system for choosing multiple election winners given voters'
preferences over candidates. There are a variety of different versions of STV
legislated and/or applied across Australia. This paper shows some of the
unintuitive properties of some of these systems.
