During the current election, there have been complaints about the current preferential voting system, also known as Instant Runoff Voting (IRV). Some have suggested moving to a First Past the Post system which many have pointed out could lead to a candidate winning the election with 20% of the vote or even less.
The CFCV believes that the best solution would be Condorcet Voting. To the voters, there would be no difference compared to the current form of preferential voting. Those couting the votes would have extra work to do, but we have confidence in their ability to do handle this extra task.
While IRV eliminates voters with the fewest amount of first place votes, Condorcet Voting compares each candidate in a series of one-on-one races. If a candidate is undefeated against all other candidates, that candidate wins. If not, the lowest margin of victory is eliminated until one candidate is undefeated.
