    Representation and voting are essential parts of a democratic system of government. The current voting system in the United States is the Electoral College. In the past, systems of popular voting had been used by other countries. There are pros and cons to both systems. However, a popular vote system, although hard to implement, is a more purely democratic system than the Electoral College.…

    According to dictionary.com, the term electoral system refers to, the legal system for making democratic choices. The United States of America operate under a federal system of government, which by definition, refers to a government in which the powers of government are divided between a central government and several local governments. The electoral system of the United States is set up in this manner, you vote for a mayor, senator, a member of the House of Representatives, you vote directly for that person. However, when you vote for president, you are really voting for an elector who has pledged to represent that candidate. The electors chosen by each state are called the Electoral College. This consists of 538 members, comprising 100 senators, 435 congressmen, and 3 members from the District of Columbia. States with large populations, like California have over 50 electoral votes, while sparsely populated states like Alaska has only 3 electoral votes. This system of government makes the electoral system highly susceptible to voter suppression.…

    In a true democratic society, it is essential to ensure a government that follows the will of the people and not the one that force the people to follow it, that is, a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people” as said by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address which lasted a little over two minutes on November, 19, 1863. Democracy is not government of some people by some people and for some people as a frequent practise in some developing nations. Democracy is a nation ruled by its citizenry. The beauty of democracy is that the minority will have their say but the majority will have their way. Functioning democracy implies where the people approve to the government operating the nation. All eligible voters are given chance to select their leader through their right to vote and to be voted for. In a truly democratic society, the representative or candidate who have been elected are liable in many ways to the people who voted and elected them. They have to implement those pledges made during elections with much transparency, accountability and good governance.…

    Currently, to elect a president we use the electoral college voting system. Throughout years of elections it has helped America choose the next president. “The Electoral College was established in Article II of the United States Constitution. Every state will get one vote for president for every representative that they send to the United States Congress.” (What is Electoral College?) The electoral votes is the 538 votes that determine who will be the next president. If the 538 votes were split evenly across the population of the US (roughly 318.9 million last counted in the year 2014) about every 574,000 people would be represented by one vote. However, the electoral college stops that by giving the votes towards not people but states. The…

    The American Society grants every citizen of legal age the right to vote in elections. The Electoral College provides electoral votes to candidates based popular votes. The Electoral College is unfair to popular vote as it is an indirect system of voting where citizens are not directly voting for the President. This system grants 538 electors to become the voice of 319 million.…

    I believe that this is a tough question to answer. I feel that this is one of those questions where I am able to see understand and level with both sides. In the end, however; I do believe that voting is a privilege. Although many people do not believe it and choose to argue otherwise; your vote DOES matter. I believe that by voting you are doing your duty as an American citizen. By being in prison, you are getting this voice you have taken away. This chance you have to help make the change you desire for your country is taken away. I do feel as if this is unfair, but at the same time I understand where some people can see that prisoners do not deserve to use their voice. If someone is to break the law, go against rules that our country made,…

    Plurality Voting System

    • 698 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Liberal party’s recent promise to change the electoral system is one that is quite overdue. Yet after years of the plurality voting system (also known as the “first-past-the-post” or “FPP”) taken from the United Kingdom’s parliament, some think that the system should stay. Supporters say the system is easy to understand, ballots are easily counted, and parties have to appeal to the centrists to win elections, so it discourages political extremism. However, with voter turnout numbers shrinking with the two main parties and with minority governments becoming the norm year after year, change is needed in order to restore Canada’s democracy. Therefore, it is imperative that the FPP system changes because of the associated problems of minority rule, an eventual two-party system, and spoiler effect.…

    Voting is the primary method Americans use to participate in decision making, and it allows them to have a say in matters which will affect their country, state, or town. Voting takes place on every level of the government in order to progress as a nation in a way that the people see fit. The decisions that voters can impact may range from something as miniscule as event dates for a small town to something as paramount as the next president of the United States. Every vote placed can drastically impact the future for the better or for the worst. For example, the most important decision of 2016 seems to be the Presidential election. Voters have the power to choose the next leader of the free world, a decision that cannot be taken lightly. Nevertheless,…

    Chaos. Corruption. Carelessness. All synonyms for America’s voting system, the way in which it is spread across all 50 states fused with disorganization, it needs to be reformed in such a way that the incompetence and prematurity of the voters does not have a chance to bring the system crashing down to its knees. The problem lies in early voting, absentee voting, who can vote, and electronic voting. While some might say that the ability to not have to be in the States on election day to vote in presidential elections is what keeps the American voting system working for the people so that they can continue to lead their busy and generally irrelevant lives, it should be known that it is not intelligent by design; it is tearing the states apart piece by piece; it can be understood that this makes sense for our soldiers, it should only be the exception for them not the rule for everyone. Conformity in voting would fix every little crack. In that,…
