Unfortunately STV has the same problems as first-pass-the-post, and some actually worse ones. Which is unfortunate, because people don't understand that and think it's much better.

But the site you mention does highly recommend approval voting, which is much simpler and doesn't have those problems.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of range voting and it indeed looks superior from a reading of that page.

It has some of the same kinds of problems that approval has, given that approval voting is a special case of range voting with only 2 options, 0 or 1. But I think it's better than all of the others, and much simpler to implement and understand I think.
