A better way to vote which will encourage healthier competition in our elections.
How Does It Work?
Voters rank candidates in order of choice. Voters can rank as many candidates as they want.
If your first choice doesn't win, then your vote counts towards your second choice instead, and so on.
The exact counting method depends on whether the election is for a single winner or multiple winners.
Why Is It Better?
- Ends the “Spoiler Effect” — where similar candidates split the vote, throwing the election to a less popular candidate
- Curbs Negative Campaigning — by focusing on what unites us as opposed to what divides us
- Enables Every Vote to Count — in determining the election's winner(s)
- Eliminates Strategic Voting — allowing you to vote your preference, not just who you think might win
-
Ensures Winners with Broad Support
- Single Member Districts — The winner earns more than 50% of the vote or has the most votes after all rounds are counted
- Multi-Member Districts — Does away with block-voting and one-party sweeps, and leads to more proportional representation. (Majority factions get a majority of seats, but not necessary all seats)
