El de voto alternativo (VA) es un sistema electoral relativamente poco utilizado [...] El VA le brinda a los electores muchas más opciones que el de MR a la hora de marcar sus papeletas. En lugar de indicar simplemente a su candidato favorito, los electores colocan a los candidatos por orden de preferencias, marcando 1 para su primera elección, 2 para su segunda opción, 3 para su tercera opcion, etc., etc. Así, el sistema permite que los votantes expresen sus preferencias entre los candidatos en lugar de simplemente expresar su primera elección. Por esta razón, con frecuencia se le conoce como "voto preferencial" en los países donde se le utiliza. 1, record 3, Spanish, - voto%20alternativo
