The system has been in place for Northern Ireland Assembly elections since the assembly was set up in 1998.
It was chosen to allow a wide range of voices to be heard in the assembly, not just representatives from the biggest parties. It also means that minorities in certain constituencies still have a chance at being represented in the assembly. For example, in a constituency that has a mostly nationalist electorate, unionist voters might still be able to get a unionist candidate elected.
Another perceived benefit of STV is that it encourages parties to appeal to a wider range of voters. For example, a party may offer policies that appeal to people outside its traditional voting base in the hope that they will give them a "preference" further down the ballot paper.The results page for each constituency will show a summary of the total number of first preference votes won by each candidate and each party.
