[RP TownTalk] How to Avoid Run Off Elections

[Jack R. Jones]

Dear Towntalkers,

We are faced with about two months of not having representation 
because of a flawed Town Code. The current code which changed the 
elections from being won by a plurality to being won by a majority, 
was a worthy advance. Problem is that a different voting system could 
give the majority desired with out the additional expense in time and 
money caused by a run off election.

The Town Council should give serious consideration to the "Borda 
Count" or "Approval Vote" systems that can give a majority winner, no 
matter how many candidates, without a run off election.

Check it out on the link below.

Read and Enjoy,
Jack
