Instant Runoff Voting
North Country People-Powered Politics strongly supports instant runoff voting on the local and national level. Instant runoff voting is a voting system that ensures the candidate that is elected is the choice of the majority rather than simply a plurality.

"If you want real campaign finance reform, here's what you've got to do, and you have to do all three at
once. You have to do public financing of campaigns, you have to have instant runoff voting, so Ralph Nader doesn't take the election away from Al Gore, although we know it was really the Supreme Court that did that, and you've got to have either a constitutional amendment or a better court that will say free speech and political contributions are not the same thing."
