What to notice
FPTP — First-Past-The-Post. One vote, one winner per riding. Today's Canadian baseline.
Gave the CAQ about 31 points more seats than its vote share. A commanding seat majority on just 41% of the vote.
STV — Single Transferable Vote. Rank candidates in a multi-member district. Multiple winners.
Seats are won candidate by candidate inside each multi-member district, and the totals still land near vote share: the CAQ takes 50% of the seats on 41% of the vote. Smaller parties get their fair share too. The CAQ still wins a majority of the seats.
