The main features of the alternative voting, public relations list (public and private), STV, the first past post and the AMS world are democratic based systems to ensure that population needs are taken into account Used by. Many countries continue to develop new models and technologies to guarantee equality, but there are still systems with many drawbacks.

In addition to choosing to hold the first past voting system 'Q21', which system or proportional representative system will be displayed in the vote? List PR, MMP, STV, MMMajoritarian, etc. There is no one saying that "PLACE should be included. The same can be said of other beautiful new ideas such as RUPfairvote.ca / ruralurbanprop. They should have the option to "agree with some new proposals worth considering even if they have never tried elsewhere".

For the PR method, there is a theory of over 100 years, many methods and variants have been proposed and tried for many years. The most popular PR method today is list method (two flavors, open or closed), mixed member ratio (MMP), and single negotiable voting (STV). All widely used methods are classified as a tradeoff; or like STV, they have meaningful choices for voters (2 points above), or they are like MMP and list methods Continue a simple vote (3 above) But it is not both. STV requires voters to rank all candidates - usually several dozen serious competitors and dozens of identical candidates in descending order of precedence; it is not simple. In the MMP and list method, after choosing a party, there are few meaningful choices and I'd like to help or hurt those factions.

Whether it is the American House of Representatives or the Congressman of BC, this is a problem and a solution.

Through political parties PR, political parties define a list of candidates and voters vote on that list. The relative vote for each list determines the number of candidates actually selected on each list. The list can be "closed" or "open" and the public list allows voters to indicate individual candidate's preferences and vote for independent candidates. The voting area can be small (only 3 seats in some parts of Chile or Ireland), or it can be as big as the state or the whole country. A single negotiable vote uses a small multi-member area and voters rank individual candidates according to their priorities. If candidates are elected or eliminated during voting counts, the remaining or abandoned votes otherwise would be wasted are forwarded to other candidates based on preferences. With STV, voters can vote among political parties and elect an independent candidate.
