Some Aspects of Elections — to Fill One Seat or Many

I. D. Hill

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, 1988, vol. 151, issue 2, 243-261

Abstract: Although no electoral system can be perfect, some of those that are in use are very much better than others. A number of methods are reviewed and reasons are given for believing that Condorcet's method of paired comparisons is to be preferred where a single seat is to be contested, but the single transferable vote (STV) method where more than one seat is involved. A tentative suggestion is made of a means of combining these two methods into a single system.
