What’s wrong with being limited to voting for only one candidate? Listen to @UtahCER founder @AGruwell explain to @byuradio Top of Mind host @julieroseradio how #ApprovalVoting would improve our elections. https://t.co/LB3feHnf2h

Approval voting lets you say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to every candidate on the ballot, allowing us to see true levels of support. #ApprovalVoting #HonestElections #UtahApproves

[Utah Approves @UtahApproves]

The point of voting is to get unweighted opinions from every voter on who the best candidate is, #Top5Primaries return that to the whole process. #HonestElections #UtahApproves

Because STAR Voting is tallied using addition in both rounds, processing ballots is quite simple for election officials and can be done using existing hardware, infrastructure, and protocols. Auditing or recounts are relatively simple as well.

Everyone wants real transparency in political contributions to reduce corruption and limit wealthy special interests' influence. We need to know who's spending big money on elections for government accountability and fair representation.

"To prevent a repeat of 2016, Republicans could use an election reform called approval voting." - Read more from our Vice President and Director of Advocacy, Ammon Gruwell: https://t.co/mR64A1ntne

Voters who used plurality voting in 2021 ultimately reported a more positive experience (4.08/5) when compared to voters who used Ranked-Choice Voting (3.77/5). Again, this shows that even with the default dissatisfaction with plurality, RCV is enjoyed less. #RCV #ApprovalVoting

[The Center for Election Science @ElectionScience]

One of the benefits of approval voting is it's simplicity! It's easy and cost effective to implement.

VOTE!!! 👇
The Forward Party just added STAR Voting to their list of recommended voting methods! Show them they got it right!

[The Center for Election Science @ElectionScience]

Ever wonder how unpopular candidates like Mehmet Oz wind up winning their primary election when they don't even have the support of their own party? #electionscience #pennsylvania #PA #PAPrimary #droz #pennsylvaniaprimary #approvalvoting

The harsh reality is that Choose One voting and the Spoiler Effect uphold the status-quo. New candidates face very strong incentives not to run in the first place, and (regardless of their qualifications) face numerous barriers to getting elected.

[Ammon Gruwell @AGruwell]

For those in Utah who advocate for non-partisan open primaries, also known as top-2/4/5 primaries, and commonly paired with #RankedChoiceVoting, a note of caution: they don’t appear to work very well. #utpol

Interesting visualization showing some of the differences between plurality voting, ranked choice voting (IRV), and score voting (called "Max Voting" here).

Note: @5starvoting uses score voting in the 1st round with an instant runoff between the top two scorers in the 2nd round.
