Abstract
By-elections under STV do not assist with voter choice, proportionality, or local representation. [1 page]

Submission Content
The Citizens' Assembly seems to favour by-elections for filling casual vacancies under STV.

The CA has every right to choose this method. The Republic of Ireland has used this method for decades.

However, I hope the CA can explain what goal or objective this serves.

By-elections under STV do not assist with voter choice, proportionality, or local representation.
