Table 1 | Projected representation for people of color under STV and favorable SMD plurality

CVAP share is the proportion of the citizen voting age population belonging to the POC group of interest. Seat share under STV captures the projected range of representation won by minority-preferred candidates across simulated STV elections. Max seat share under SMD (plurality) is the projected representation with the largest number of districts that are majority-minority by CVAP that could be found with an algorithmic search.
