Solution

  1. List System: Voters choose a party rather than individual candidates. Seats are allocated to each party in proportion to the number of votes it receives.
  2. Single Transferable Vote (STV) System: Voters rank candidates in order of preference. Candidates must reach a certain quota of votes to be elected, and surplus votes are transferred according to preferences until all seats are filled.
