The council election on 4th May will use the single transferable vote system (STV).
The counting is, admittedly, complex but the voting is not, all you have to do is simply rank candidates in the order you would prefer them to be elected.
We are asking you to please give the Green candidate your fi rst preference vote, but it is important to rank as many candidates as you can.
Remember that giving a later rank (higher number) to a candidate has no effect on the whether your earlier choices are elected or not.
