Electoral system reform

Electoral system reform involves changing the way votes are translated into political representation. It aims to make elections fairer, more representative, or to better reflect voter preferences. Reforms can include switching from first-past-the-post (where the candidate with the most votes wins) to proportional representation (where seats are allocated according to each party's share of votes), or implementing ranked-choice voting. These changes impact how governments are formed, voter influence, and political diversity, and are often debated to improve democratic fairness and accountability.
