| The [[http://sof.uchicago.edu/hare|Hare System of Proportional Representation]] is a procedural description of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote|Single Transferable Vote (STV)]] preferential voting system. It is "preferential" in the sense that voters rank the order of their chosen candidates (using, say, numbers 1-5), rather than using an unranked mark (e.g., one or more "X"s). A common application is in the selection of committees, in which multiple winners must be chosen from a set of available candidates. | The [[http://sof.uchicago.edu/hare|Hare System of Proportional Representation]] is a procedural description of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote|Single Transferable Vote (STV)]] preferential voting system.
