Background

Replace the First-Past-the-Post system for general elections with a preferential voting system. This would allow voters to rank candidates by order of preference, ensuring their vote is used to elect a candidate they support, even if their first choice is eliminated.

Additional details

First-Past-the-Post forces tactical voting and creates millions of "wasted" votes, leading to unrepresentative governments. A ranked system makes more votes count and allows people to vote for their true preference without fear of "spoiling" the result. This petition presents a clear and focused request for this reform, as previous similar petitions have often been ambiguously worded, which may have hindered public support for this vital issue.
