Imagine your ballot listed all the candidates for a given office, and next to each name, you had a simple checkbox. With Approval Voting, you can check off as many candidates as you "approve" of. The candidate with the most "approvals" wins. #votingreform #elections #democracy

Approval voting offers a fresh approach to redistricting. It's a method that would significantly reduce the incentive for partisan line-drawing and make elections more competitive. #ApprovalVoting #Redistricting #ElectionReform Electionscience.org

Seeking common ground? Implementing Approval Voting can cool down our heated politics by rewarding candidates who build broad consensus. Let's prioritize civility and decorum over partisan warfare. A calmer process leads to better policy. electionscience.org

No mental Olympics. No strategic math. No opaque tabulations. Just a simple yes or no. 🗳️ With Approval Voting, you don’t have to choose the "lesser of two evils." If you like a candidate, give them a vote. It’s that simple.

Transparency isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about the foundation of our democracy. When the election process is open and verifiable, it builds public trust, prevents disinformation from taking root, and ensures every voter knows their voice was heard.

Take action: Stay informed: Follow local and national bills that simplify ballots and remove the "spoiler effect" in our elections. Talk with elected officials and your community about why being able to vote for any candidate you approve of leads to better consensus.

The Utah State Senate 11 election was a landmark: the first state-level race decided by Approval Voting (AV) & a majority-digital ballot. 44.6% approved more than one candidate, proving AV elects broadly acceptable, low-polarization leaders. Congrats Senator Elect Emily Buss!
