Our preferential voting system allows you to run your election and online voting for a single candidate with any number of nominated candidates. We assist in working out the list of preferences ahead of the election. The list can be used as polls and votes can be monitored in real-time via an online management dashboard, which breaks down each round of preference until a winner is declared.
Preferential Voting Process
Voters rank the candidates in order of preference voting. Placing a number one against a candidate is considered the first preference or primary vote. For example, if there are 3 candidates listed, the voter chooses 1 beside their first choice, 2 beside their second choice and 3 beside their third choice.
This process of elimination based on preferences continues until a candidate secures an absolute majority.
To be considered a valid ballot, the submitted ballot must satisfy the following conditions:
Different types of
preferential voting include
Full preferential
The voter must show a preference for all candidates listed for the ballot paper to be formal.
Partial preferential
The voter must show a minimum number of preferences for candidates – usually equal to the number to be elected.
Optional preferential
The voter need only indicate a preference for the candidate of his/her first choice and the allocation of any further preference is optional.
How Preferential Voting Results are calculated?
* If no candidate receives a majority (greater than 50% of the total valid ballots), the candidate with the fewest number of votes is eliminated and the ballots for that candidate are redistributed to each ballot’s second preference.
Where can Preferential Voting be used?
Preferential voting can be used in any candidate voting scenario. But in most cases, first past the post or cumulative voting is utilised. In some organisations such as sporting clubs, schools, tertiary education institutions, universities and government, it is governed by a constitution that has chosen a particular method of voting for their ballots and elections. If the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) method of voting doesn’t quite apply to the election, Vero can customise the voting method to suit the organisation’s requirements.
