STAR Voting: a cutting edge proposal for our elections
from the Equal Vote Coalition
Simply give each candidate a five star rating.
Lets rise above the polarization and allow voters to show their full opinion!
You only need to vote once in November and those ballots are counted in a 2 step process:
First: All the scores from all the ballots are totaled and the two highest scoring are finalists.
Second: Your ballot already shows which finalist you preferred. The finalist preferred by more voters wins.
We are currently collecting signatures for a ballot initiative to adopt STAR Voting for Multnomah County offices. The proposal will replace our antiquated "vote for one only" system with a single November election with all the candidates on one ballot. STAR Voting breaks the polarization and allows us to give each candidate a score, showing our full honest opinion.
