  • The Electoral Reform Society is a pressure group based in the United Kingdom which promotes electoral reform. It was founded in January 1884 as the Proportional Representation Society and the name was changed to Electoral Reform Society in 1958. The society has actively campaigns for the use of the Single Transferable Vote in general elections. The society believes that the introduction of STV would mean that: * All votes would have an equal value * The views of the politicians elected would be more representative of those of the electorate. * Politicians would become more accountable to the electorate * Tactical voting would no longer be necessary. The society is made up of around 2,000 individuals from across the political and non-political spectrum. The main activities of the society are lobbying of MPs and campainging to raising awareness of what it percieves to be the benefits of STV.
