| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ||||
| Party 1 | Candidate 1 | 25.0 | 2,500 | ||||

Usage
Basic
There are three basic templates:
The begin and end templates start and end a table with appropriate columns and formatting. The numcounts parameter in the begin and end templates should match - this determines the number of columns for each round of ballot counting.
The candidate template is used once for each candidate and contributes a row to the table. Each candidate template should use the same number of countX parameters, and these should match numcounts in the begin and end templates. For example, if numcounts = 3 then all candidate templates should contain the count1, count2, and count3 parameters. The countX parameters each contain the candidate's total votes after that round of counting.
The end template has a required quota parameter which should contain the number of votes needed for a candidate to be elected.
For example, this:
{{STV Election box begin2
|title = Single Transferable Vote Example
|numcounts = 4
}}
{{STV Election box candidate2
|candidate = '''Candidate 1'''
|party = Party 1
|percentage = 25.0
|count1 = '''2,500'''
|count2 =
|count3 =
|count4 =
}}
{{STV Election box candidate2
|candidate = '''Candidate 2'''
|party = Party 2
|percentage = 23.5
|count1 = 2,352
|count2 = 2,818
|count3 = '''2,500'''
|count5 =
}}
{{STV Election box candidate2
|candidate = Candidate 3
|party = Party 3
|percentage = 19.2
|count1 = 1,927
|count2 = 2,293
|count3 = 2,493
|count4 =
}}
{{STV Election box candidate2
|candidate = '''Candidate 4'''
|party = Party 4
|percentage = 18.2
|count1 = 1,823
|count2 = 2,389
|count3 = 2,507
|count4 = '''2,500'''
}}
{{STV Election box candidate2
|candidate = Candidate 5
|party = Party 5
|percentage = 13.9
|count1 = 1,398
|count2 =
|count3 =
|count4 =
}}
{{STV Election box end2
|numcounts = 4
|electorate = 12,000
|valid = 10,000
|spoilt = 57 (0.6%)
|quota = 2,500
|turnout = 10,057 (83.8%)
}}
