In this Letter the method of Lund is applied to formulate a variational principle for the motion of charged vortices in an effective non-linear Schr\"{o}dinger field theory describing finite size two-dimensional quantum Hall samples under the influence of an arbitrary perpendicular magnetic field. Freezing out variations in the modulus of the effective field yields a $U(1)$ sigma-model. A duality transformation on the sigma-model reduces the problem to finding the Green function for a related electrostatics problem. This duality illuminates the plasma analogy to the Laughlin wave function.
