Ireland

Ireland uses the single transferable vote (STV) for four types of elections.

Dáil Éireann

The Dáil Éireann is the lower house of Ireland's parliament, and has constituencies of three to five seats. The STV rules transfer whole votes, and when transferring surplus votes, subsequent choices on the ballots to be transferred are examined to transfer the votes as fairly as possible. These rules have some randomness to them and changing the order of the ballots could change the outcome, but the randomness is much less than other whole-vote methods, such as Cambridge STV rules.

Senate

The Senate is the upper house of parliament, and uses the Gregory method, similar to Northern Ireland, and Malta.
