ELECTION METHODS Research Group
Welcome to ElectionMethods.org, a public service of the Election Methods Research Group. Election methods (also known as voting systems) are the mathematical rules by which we choose our leaders. They are the foundational mechanics of democracy. Our purpose is to educate and inform the public about the gross inadequacy of our current election method and the major benefits of a better alternative. Our current plurality system has entrenched us into a two-party duopoly without effective competition from other parties. A simple expansion of voting rights can give voters badly needed additional choices. Click on the first link below and begin to understand how democracy can and should work.
