title: 'pref: Preference Voting with Explanatory Graphics'
version: 0.4.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.pref
abstract: 'Implements the Single Transferable Vote (STV) electoral system, with clear
  explanatory graphics. The core function stv() uses Meek''s method, the purest expression
  of the simple principles of STV, but which requires electronic counting. It can
  handle votes expressing equal preferences for subsets of the candidates. A function
  stv.wig() implementing the Weighted Inclusive Gregory method, as used in Scottish
  council elections, is also provided, and with the same options, as described in
  the manual. The required vote data format is as an R list: a function pref.data()
  is provided to transform some commonly used data formats into this format. References
