Which electoral system allocates seats based on proportional representation?
Explanation
The Single Transferable Vote (STV) is a proportional system. Voters rank candidates, and seats match vote shares.
First-past-the-post and plurality voting give all seats to winners, not proportionally.
STV ensures smaller parties get fair representation based on their vote percentage.
