This is the section of the site where we provide tools to help people who want to run an STV election. By making it easier to run STV elections we hope to encourage more organisations use STV and to ensure all STV elections are professionally administered.

We also provide alternative vote election tools as alternative vote is a special version of STV for one position elections.
