STV for Powys

Continuing the series of potential boundaries for creating a council elected by STV I look at Powys Electorate 100477 cube root 46.490 Number of Councillors 46 quota for a single councillor 2213.73

1 Ystradgynlais Electorate 6340 Quota 2.863 Councillors 3

2 Dyfynnog Electorate 7755 Quota 3.5031 Councillors 4

3 Talgarth Electorate 9576 Quota 4.325 Councillors 4

11 Gogledd Sir Faldwyn Electorate 8846 Quota 3.995 Councillors 4

12 Y Trallwng Electorate 9215 Quota 4.162 Councillors 4

Very difficut to divide up and retain the old county boundaries, as you can see I have been unable to do it in the Buellt area, and the county is two councillors over its cubed root quota giving it 48 councillors.

Cardiff gets one more than the qubed root rule would suggest.

STV in Local Government - Merthyr Tydfil

An exercise showing Merthyr Tydfil's council if elected by STV, what sort of ward structure would work

Merthyr Tydfil Electorate 45081 Cube root 35.59 36 councillors quota 1252.25

1. Treharis & Bedlinog Electorate 8247 Quota 6.585 7 Councillors

2. Troedyrhiw & Ynys Owen Electorate 6894 Quota 5.505 5 Councillors

3. Y Dref Electorate 5998 Quota 4.789 5 Councillors

4. Dowlais Electorate 5014 Quota 4.003 4 Councillors

5. Cyfarthfa Electorate 5457 Quota 4.3577 4 Councillors

6. Faenor & Parc Electorate 6176 Quota 4.931 5 Councillors

7. Gurnos & Penydarren Electorate 7295 Quota 5.825 6 Councillors

Faenor & Parc is an awkward shape but the largest part of the electorate of Faenor live in Cefn Coed y Cymmer, which is in that narrow neck joining on Park Ward - so it more a natural fit than Gurnos or Dowlais.
