What is First Past The Post (FPTP)?

FPTP is a voting system where each voters submits their vote for one candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins.

Why is FPTP bad?

  • Because FPTP hurts candidates who have similar positions, it leads to a two-party system.
  • FPTP creates wasted votes and excess votes.
  • FPTP strongly encourages tactical voting.
  • FPTP allows for gerrymandering

What are some good alternatives?

  • Cardinal Voting Systems
    • Approval Voting
    • STAR Voting
    • Score/Range Voting
    • CAV
  • Ranked Voting Systems
    • Schulze Method
    • IRV
    • Borda Count
    • STV (Multi-winner)
  • Proportional Representation Systems (For multi-winner elections)
  • Mixed Electoral Systems (For multi-winner elections)
