[pp.int.general] Election Results

[Rodrigo Pereira]

"STV, unlike Closed List PR, can at times produce pressures for political
parties to fragment internally because members of the same party are
effectively competing against each other, as well as against the opposition,
for votes. This could serve to promote ‘clientelistic’ politics where
politicians offer electoral bribes to groups of defined
voters."<http://aceproject.org/ace-en/topics/es/esd/esd02/esd02d/esd02d01>


Who decided the voting method?

Where this method is indicated in the statutes?
