mandate that all federal elections be done through Instant-Runoff Voting.

Created by Z.S. on June 01, 2012

This petition is to urge the Obama Administration, through Excutive Order or other means to change to, or endorse the use of Instant-Runoff Voting (IRV); a voting system in which voters rank their choices according to preference.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_runoff_voting)

Why it's good for voters: IRV allows better ballot access for independent and third-party candidates candidates by eliminating the fear of a wasted vote.

Why it's good for the Administration: IRV will allow votes that would ordinarily split an election to be redistributed to give a clearer view of voter preference.

Why this is good for everyone: By allowing voters to vote based on Principle, not Party, we will have a government that more accurately represents the it's people, and puts Policy before Politics.
