Currenty process section reads "When surplus votes are transferred under some systems, the vote is apportioned fractionally to different candidates. In others, transfers are done using whole votes."
I think this is more clear: Under some systems, a fraction of the vote is transferred, with a fraction left behind with the winner. In others such as Ireland or Malta national elections, transfers are done using whole votes, with some of the votes that are directed to another candidate left behind with the winner and others of the same sort of votes moved in whole to the indicated candidate.
in each transfer only the next usable back-up preference is referred to. So vote at most can only be split between the present position and the next candidate. 174.3.203.119 ( talk) 21:04, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Based on the example of Instant-runoff voting, this article should mention, in the lead section, the common names for STV from within the Anglosphere. P-RCV (Proportional Ranked Choice Voting) is a name used for STV by Fairvote, which is by far the largest American political organization advocating for STV. I have reflected this fact with a clause in the first sentence of the lead. It would be better fit this information elsewhere in the lead section; however, I do not believe it should be buried entirely in the terminology subsection.
It would be better practice to get good WP:RELIABLE sources on terminology around STV. Although this can't be a basis for an edit because it's WP:NOR, I have never heard any of the described "American" terms for STV besides "Multi-member Ranked Choice Voting" and "Proportional Ranked Choice Voting."

Closed Limelike Curves, what leads you to believe that this article was edited for pay? And what cleanup do you think is necessary? Eeidt ( talk) 16:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
See counting single transferable votes, which probably needs to be merged into here. –Sincerely, A Lime 04:13, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Prose size (text only): 71 kB (11968 words) "readable prose size"), so merging more content into this article makes no sense. It probably makes more sense to move some of the counting parts of this article to Counting single transferable votes. — Joeyconnick ( talk) 04:20, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
