Draft:2020 Irish general election vote transfers

Ireland uses the single transferable vote in multi-seat constituencies for all elections. Each voter has just one vote but can mark back-up prefernces to be used if first chioce is un-electable or is elected with surplus votes. Voters rank the candidates 1, 2, 3, etc. in the order of their choice. Voters may mark a preference for only one candidate, or may rank all candidates on the ballot paper. Vote may be transferred from one candidate to another as the counting progresses, as candidates pass the quota and are declared elected or are eliminated.

The following tables show the vote transfers that occurred during the 2020 Irish general election. A separate sortable table is shown for each party, in descending order of party first preference vote. Independent / Non-Party candidates are grouped together.

Summary
Note: Elimination counts often include multiple candidates. There were 253 counts at which candidates were eliminated - these often included candidates from different parties
