'''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 "[[Advocacyadvocacy]]" (on this wiki) to learn about the people striving for electoral reform.
 
== Advocacy ==
:''main article: [[Advocacy]]''
 
In common usage, "'''advocacy'''" refers to the political process by an individual or group which aims to influence public-policy and resource allocation decisions. The word "'''activism'''" refers to efforts to promote, impede, or direct social, political, religious, economic, or environmental change. We use the words interchangeably here on [[electowiki]].
 
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/who-we-are/our-history/|title=Electoral Reform Society: Our History|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref> 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.
