approval voting should be far and away the top priority IMO, given that social utility efficiency computer simulations show it would massively improve human welfare. and it only has a one-time cost per implementation, and then it’s “free” forever.
another option is instant runoff voting, a form of ranked voting that’s commonly just called “ranked choice voting”. but it’s less accurate, more expensive, and appears to be losing political viability. as someone else here noted:
> There are alternatives to Ranked Choice Voting (like approval voting) and I’m no expert on them. It does seem like, if this campaign were to run for 2026 it would need to start soon.
in addition to that, i would say the next most high-priority issue, based on the EA metrics of neglected+tractable+impactful, would be election by jury.
this is far and away the most important issue.

honestly i think almost everything else is hugely sub-optimal, because it’s mostly downstream of the collective choice mechanism.
