Abstract
|
I propose a system of voting where each voter has one vote for
each candidate on the ballot but must rank them in the order
1,2,3,4, etc. A candidate would have to
receive 70% of the vote to be elected. [1 page]

I propose a system of voting where each voter has one vote for
each candidate on the ballot but must rank them in the order
1,2,3,4, etc. If a candidate does not receive 70% of
the count of the 1 votes, then the 2 (second
preference) vote would be counted and so
on. A candidate would have to receive 70% of
the vote to be elected. This would be a fair and just
system.
