Elec­toral reform

TagLast edit: Jul 14, 2022, 8:53 PM by Leo

Electoral reform is change in electoral systems, including voting systems, to better align public policies with social preferences.

Evaluation

80,000 Hours rates electoral reform a “potential highest priority area”: an issue that, if more thoroughly examined, could rank as a top global challenge.[1]
