These election box templates are for displaying a list of candidates and their vote totals in each round of counting in a single transferable vote election. They produce tables like this (figures are just examples; they are not meant to work mathematically):
Party | Candidate | FPv% | Count | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ||||
Party 1 | Candidate 1 | 25.0 | 2,500 | ||||
Party 2 | Candidate 2 | 23.5 | 2,352 | 2,818 | 2,500 | ||
Party 3 | Candidate 3 | 19.2 | 1,927 | 2,293 | 2,493 | ||
Party 4 | Candidate 4 | 18.2 | 1,823 | 2,389 | 2,507 | 2,500 | |
Party 5 | Candidate 5 | 13.9 | 1,398 | ||||

TemplateData for STV Election box begin2
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Election title | title | The title of the election to display as a heading above the rest of the box. | String | required |

Usage
Basic
There are three basic templates:
The begin and end templates start and end a table with appropriate columns and formatting. The numcounts
parameter in the begin and end templates should match - this determines the number of columns for each round of ballot counting.
The candidate template is used once for each candidate and contributes a row to the table. Each candidate template should use the same number of countX
parameters, and these should match numcounts
in the begin and end templates. For example, if numcounts = 3
then all candidate templates should contain the count1
, count2
, and count3
parameters. The countX
parameters each contain the candidate's total votes after that round of counting.
The end template has a required quota
parameter which should contain the number of votes needed for a candidate to be elected.
For example, this:
{{STV Election box begin2 |title = Single Transferable Vote Example |numcounts = 4 }} {{STV Election box candidate2 |candidate = '''Candidate 1''' |party = Party 1 |percentage = 25.0 |count1 = '''2,500''' |count2 = |count3 = |count4 = }} {{STV Election box candidate2 |candidate = '''Candidate 2''' |party = Party 2 |percentage = 23.5 |count1 = 2,352 |count2 = 2,818 |count3 = '''2,500''' |count5 = }} {{STV Election box candidate2 |candidate = Candidate 3 |party = Party 3 |percentage = 19.2 |count1 = 1,927 |count2 = 2,293 |count3 = 2,493 |count4 = }} {{STV Election box candidate2 |candidate = '''Candidate 4''' |party = Party 4 |percentage = 18.2 |count1 = 1,823 |count2 = 2,389 |count3 = 2,507 |count4 = '''2,500''' }} {{STV Election box candidate2 |candidate = Candidate 5 |party = Party 5 |percentage = 13.9 |count1 = 1,398 |count2 = |count3 = |count4 = }} {{STV Election box end2 |numcounts = 4 |electorate = 12,000 |valid = 10,000 |spoilt = 57 (0.6%) |quota = 2,500 |turnout = 10,057 (83.8%) }}
