@ElectionBot what is Meek STV?

Meek STV is a version of STV with a more fine-tuned transfer of surplus (excess) votes. Please see OpaVote's in-depth explanation of Meek STV for more info.

@ElectionBot how is candidate score calculated

The 40-point candidate score is calculated this way: 1 point for each 1,000 reputation up to 20,000 reputation (20 points); and 1 point for each of the 8 moderation, 6 editing, and 6 participation badges (20 points)

what is my candidate score

@user1271772 Your candidate score is 2 (out of 40). You are missing these badges: Civic Duty, Cleanup, Constituent, Convention, Copy Editor, Deputy, Electorate, Enthusiast, Explainer, Investor, Marshal, Organizer, Refiner, Reviewer, Sportsmanship, Steward, Strunk & White, Tag Editor. Having a high score is not a requirement - you can still nominate yourself!

Hahaha!
