electoral reform society

The Electoral Reform Society is a pressure group based in the UK which promotes electoral reform. It was founded in January 1884 as the Proportional Representation Society by John Lubbock, the name was changed to Electoral Reform Society in 1958. It is believed to the oldest organisation concerned with electoral systems in the world. Since its formation, the society has promoted the use of the Single Transferable Vote in general elections. The mission of the society is to secure an electoral system in the UK which it believes will:

Gives all votes equal value
Give effective representation to all significant points of view within the electorate
Not have the problem of tactical voting and votes wasted.
Ensure the accountability of individual representatives to their electorates

The society recommends the Single Transferable Vote system in multi-member constituencies for general elections. It has a membership of about 2,000 individuals.
