FAQ

What problem are we trying to solve?

Large fields of candidates often split the majority, allowing someone with less than 50% of the vote to win. That isn’t majority rule.

Is this partisan?

No. Majority rule benefits everyone. This project is strictly non-partisan and independent.

Does this change how people vote?

No. Voters still pick one candidate. The difference is simply that the winner must have majority support.

Is this ranked choice voting?

No. We prefer simple, direct elections with runoffs until a true majority is reached.

What happens if no one gets 50%?

A short, automatic runoff between the top candidates. Most democracies already use this.

Why not keep the current system?

Because plurality elections undermine representation and allow outcomes that don’t reflect the will of most voters.

Is this about helping one party win?

No. Majority rule can help or hurt any party depending on the race. Our goal is fairness, not outcomes.

Will this increase turnout?

Yes. When elections actually reflect voter preferences, participation typically improves.

Is this complicated?

No. It’s the simplest possible reform:
the winner must have a majority.
Everything else follows from that.
