pets_governance — one electorate elects a pet government five ways¶
A single 22-voter electorate (a 13-voter Furry majority + a 9-voter Others minority) fills six positions by six methods, to show the majoritarian-vs-proportional divide on one ballot set. All six run on BetterVoting (Bloc STAR = STAR with 3 winners; Bloc Approval = Approval with 2 winners; Bloc Plurality/SNTV = Plurality with 2 winners — all via BV's runBlocTabulator) and all six are cross-checked against the LH engine.

| Mayor | Ranked Robin | 1 | Dog | page · yaml |
| Council | Bloc STAR | 3 | Dog, Fish, Cat (majority sweep) | page · yaml |
| Committee | Approval | 2 | Dog, Cat | page · yaml |
| Council (PR) | STAR-PR | 3 | Bird, Dog, Fish (minority seated) | page · yaml |
| Delegates | STV | 3 | Dog, Bird, Cat (minority seated) | page · yaml |
| Neighborhood Reps | Bloc Plurality (SNTV) | 2 | Dog, Bird (minority seated) | page · yaml |
The lesson: give the same 59/41 electorate 3 seats and Bloc STAR hands the majority all three, while STV and STAR-PR seat the minority. Majoritarian vs proportional, side by side.
