+ <h1>Apache STeVe Vote Types</h1>
+
+ <h2 id="stv">Single Transferable Vote</h2>
+ The single transferable vote (STV) system is designed to achieve proportional representation through ranked voting in multi-seat elections.
+ It does so by allowing every voter one vote, that is transferable to other candidates based on necessity of votes and the preference of the voter.
+ Thus, if a candidate in an election is voted in (or in case of a tie), excess votes are allocated to candidates according to the preference of the voter.
+ STV is designed to minimize the 'wasted votes' in an election by reallocating votes (and thus the wishes of the voters) proportionally to their previous priority.
+
+ Please see the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote#Voting">Wikipedia article on STV voting</a> for more insight into how STV works.
