Template:Stv-ballot/doc

This is a ballot form for a ballot using the single transferable vote and instant run-off method of voting.

Usage

A sample ballot can be cast as follows:

* {{stv-ballot|A=2|B=3|C=1|sign=~~~~}}

This would produce the following output:

• C A B  Jimbo Wales (talk) 00:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

The same ballot could be cast as follows:

* {{stv-ballot|C=1|A=2|B=3|sign=~~~~}}

Up to 26 options can be ranked using the template (A to Z). Options must be stated as capital letters e.g. A=1 not a=1. There is no requirement to rank all options. There is no intelligent checking of ballots for errors except that if a user leaves blank the a signature field the ballot will produce a warning.

The explicit sign parameter is required for signatures that contain equal-to signs (for example as part of HTML markup). Otherwise, the same ballot could be cast as follows:

* {{stv-ballot|C=1|A=2|B=3|~~~~}}
