Abstract
Single Transferable Vote (STV) counting, used in several jurisdictions in Australia, is a system for choosing multiple election winners given voters' preferences over candidates. There are a variety of different versions of STV legislated and/or applied across Australia. This paper shows some of the unintuitive properties of some of these systems.
