[EM] STV and single constraints, like gender quotas

[James Gilmour]

Peter
If you haven't already found the Church of England Regulations for "STV with constraints", they are here:
  http://www.churchofengland.org/media/1307318/stv%20regulations.doc	
These are the only published regulations for "STV with constraints" that I know of.

Your first link (below) is to a Joe Otten paper that describes one way of "ordering a list with STV".  If that is one of the tasks
you have, you may find it useful also to look at the method devised by Colin Rosenstiel:

and
