           The U.S. electoral system was created to give every citizen a say in who their elected officials should be, but this system has failed miserably. The right to vote is a basic right that needs be provided to every American regardless of such traits as political party, religion, or ethnicity. It is unethical to deny a person the right to vote and historically that has been a major problem in the United States. Our election system is completely corrupt and voter rights is not the only problem, strategically drawing voting districts is also a major issue. Our current electoral system is corrupt and unethical because of gerrymandering, the breaking down of the voter rights act, and voter ID laws.

Proponents say the voting method ensures that whoever is elected has the support of a majority of voters. They say this helps increase civility because candidates need to appeal to a spectrum broader than just their base in order to win over their opponents’ supporters on subsequent ballots. And theoretically it eliminates the possibility of a “spoiler” candidate winning.

Voting should be an easy access to everyone; it is the cornerstone of representational democracy. The very thing that makes America a place where peoples voices are heard or at least make them feel that

Although the citizens have to submit a ballot in this system, they are not obligated to vote. This would improve voter turnout and uphold the right to vote or abstain from voting. Some contingencies would be needed though. They include plans for a result less than the majority, One plan would be a second round of voting. If a majority is not reached, then the candidate pool would be decreased until it does.

The purpose of an election is to represent the best interests of a society. Everyone must be represented in a method that elects the candidate that was supported across the country. The electoral college is the perfect setup for a country

In the Unite States of America i belive that it would not be asmart idea to use electronic voting machines beacause it would be unfair they would not be counting all the votes correctly. Also they can rig the election like the problems they had in ohio as they wasted that amout of money. It would not be a good idea to use electronic voting machines because the machines may also not count the votes correctly or place the vote uner another canidate. Also there has been alot of errors with the electronic voting machines, like they've also been hacked plenty of times witch causes the election to get ruined. There is also two sides to everything like the electonic voting machines also did alot of good work and made it easier to vote for the people

Firstly, both sides of the spectrum which are upon those who agree and disagree both have compelling cases in this question. Such as citizen number two describes that “ if we force everyone to vote, those who don’t vote or care about the process of voting will not respect the process. Thus, making elections chaotic and improper “. On the other hand the opposite side of the spectrum where citizen number one is located,

The United States is often seen as a hallmark of democracy, due to the nature of peaceful presidential transitions along with the abundance of civil rights and liberties as outlined in the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution. However, on an average, only 60% of eligible voters participate in the presidential elections that take place every four years, and 40% turn out for the congressional midterm elections that occur every two years (Fair Vote). John Winthrop, a New England colonist during the early 17th century, told his fellow Puritans, “We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us” (Ushistory.org), but has this really lived out its meaning if American elections do not include the voices of everyone?

In 2000 Riverside County California decided to spend 14 million dollars to make their voting system all electronic. This decision was made on the basis that in 1998 more than one million dollars was spent on paper ballots (in Riverside), but when only half of the county voted the extras had to be trashed. For local elections their new electronic system fetched a 99% approval rating from voters (Wired.com article). The only foreseeable downside to this technology is the start up price and with internet voting not likely due to security issues, this maybe the best solution.

In the UK, we have been using the First Past The Post system as our electoral system since we became a democracy. Whilst this system works for us, there are many systems that we could use, these being: Closed Party List, AMS, STV and Supplementary Vote. All these have various strengths and weaknesses to them.

There are many controversial topics in this politically correct world. There are topics about morals, standards, and personal ethics. One of the newest debatable subjects however, is the one concerning this new centuries way of casting an individual’s vote, through electronic voting. Electronic voting is a way to cast a person’s ballot using an electronic voting machine that is touch screen. There are many advantages to using these machines during an election but there are also many disadvantages to using them as well. Before a person can make their own judgments on this subject it is important to understand and view both sides of the argument.

A voting system has four characteristics: accuracy, anonymity, scalability, and speed. Current electronic voting machines claim to
