Voter_equality.PNG

"Voter equality" compares the least powerful fifth to the most powerful fifth of voters. Some results are below:[1]

  • FPTP: 4.8% (1/21)[1]
  • AV: 5.6% (1/18)[1]

The "Voter equality" is the VPI for the least powerful fifth of voters divided by the VPI for the most powerful fifth of voters. In the case above, 0% = perfectly unequal (the least powerful fifth have no power) and 100% = perfectly equal (the least powerful fifth have the same power as the most powerful fifth).
