The various companies named above will not be using STV to elect their
Boards of Directors which are usually Yes/No ballots, but to elect Pension
Fund Trustees. The accountancy partnerships of Coopers & Lybrand and
Price Waterhouse use it to elect their Executive partners. These particular
elections are unique in that, apart from partners retiring during the year,
all partners are automatically candidates.
