About the Electoral Reform Society

The Electoral Reform Society is campaigning to change the way we choose our politicians. We believe that a fair voting system will improve our democracy, allow politicians to better represent you the voter and help them to tackle the serious issues facing our society.  Above all we believe that fairness, accountability and a real choice for voters should not be compromised.

The Mission of the Electoral Reform Society is to secure at all levels of representation an electoral system which will:

• Ensure all votes have equal value
• Give effective representation to all significant points of view within the electorate
• Allow electors to vote for their preferred candidates without fear of wasting their votes
• Ensure the accountability of individual representatives to their electorates

And that's why believe the best way to achieve this is through the use of single transferable voting (STV).

Electoral Reform Society principal activities include:

• lobbying politicians, political parties and opinion formers
• publishing research and pamphlets
• running an education programme for schools, colleges and the general public
• a high profile media campaign analysing and commenting on public elections

People from across the political spectrum have signed up to call for fair votes.  Join us.
