===Ireland - PR-STV===
Alternative forms of PR, such as the one used in Ireland, allow voters to vote for the individual candidates in their constituency according to preference. Rather than ticking the box next to the desired candidate and ignoring the others, Irish voters can technically vote for every candidate on the ballot in order of prefrence - 1 to 10, or more, according to how many candidates there are. According to their resources, parties field as many candidates in as many constituencies as possible.
