Electoral reform

Electoral reform refers to changes to an electoral system. Many editors of electowiki are advocates of electoral reform. See "wikipedia:Electoral reform" to learn more general information about electoral reform, or see "advocacy" (on this wiki) to learn about the people striving for electoral reform.

There are many electoral reform organizations all over the world. Since electoral reform is heavily dependent on local laws and local communities, many nations and localities have separate chapters for advocacy purposes.

The Electoral Reform Society (website: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/) was founded in 1884 as the "Proportional Representation Society", advocating for use of single transferable vote to replace Westminster's first past the post system. In the 1970s, the organization adopted its current name, and later created the "Electoral Reform Services Limited (ERSL)" subsidiary to assist with election management and provide funds to the Society. In 2018, they sold ERSL, and fund the Society through the resulting capital fund.
