<p>More contemporary work in the field takes a new approach: rather than ask whether a system meets or fails a particular criterion, statistical evaluation methods determine how frequently problems of all kinds happen in a voting system, and how severely those problems manifest in outcomes that are undesirable from the point of view of simulated voters.

<p><a href="http://electology.github.io/vse-sim/VSE/>Recent work</a> by Harvard Statistics PhD candidate Jameson Quinn models Voter Satisfaction Efficiency - a percentage of how well a voting method performs between selecting the ideal representative candidate versus a random candidate from the field.

<p><strong>It's Time For 2.0</strong>

<p>The need for true election reform is more apparent now than ever before, and the recent adoption of IRV in Benton County, OR and the state of Maine show that electorates on both coasts are ready for more expressive voting systems. What we need now is the upgraded version, that actually gets rid of the spoiler effect, once and for all, and isn't <a href="https://electology.org/irv-repealed">vulnerable to repeal after adoption</a> due to complexity of implementation and non-representative outcomes.

<p>The American electorate is hungry for a real solution to our broken political system. We clearly need an election system that gives us all an equal say, accurately reflects our collective will in the outcome, is simple for us to ballot and for election officials to tabulate, and that allows us to expressively share our honest opinions on the outcome. By all these measures, the new IRV - Score Runoff Voting - is the clear winner.

<p><strong>So where'd this whole campaign come from, anyway?</p>

<p>Score Runoff Voting is the accidental brain child of Rob Richie, Executive Director of <a href="http://fairvote.org">FairVote</a>, Clay Shentrup, Co-Founder of the <a href="http://electology.org">Center for Election Science</a>, and Mark Frohnmayer, life-long political sciontist and founder of Equal.Vote. Rob's suggestion at the 2014 <a href="http://www.equal.vote/conference_one_pager">Equal Vote Conference</a> of an overseas absentee ballot that expressed both candidate approval for the equal top two and preference voting for the runoff sparked the realization that a score ballot provided both sets of data, and SRV was born.

<p>Equal.Vote itself is the evolution of the <a href="initiative_petition_38_version_1">Unified Primary campaign</a>, an effort to reform Oregon's partisan primary election system to use the <a href="srvvstoptwo">Equal Top Two</a>. Based on the <a href="phase_two_complete">experience from that election cycle</a> and the full-spectrum feedback from Oregon's electorate and avocacy groups, we focused on bringing forward a reform that maximizes choice in the single General Election when the most voters participate. <a href="srv#srv">Enter Score Runoff Voting</a>.

<p><strong>Score Runoff Voting or SRV</strong> is a new voting system designed to address the flaws in our current voting system at the same time it answers opposing critiques from the two leading single election voting system reform camps: those who advocate for <a href="leading_reforms#IRV">Instant Runoff Voting</a> and those who advocate for rated voting methods such as <a href="equal_systems_science">Approval and Score Voting</a>.</p>

<p>We recommend that leading election reform advocacy organizations and election scientists perform a thorough vetting of Score Runoff Voting. Of particular interest are the evaluations of groups such as FairVote and the Center for Election Science as well as the simulation analysis of SRV versus other comparable systems on the measures of Bayesian Regret and agreement with the utility-based Condorcet Winner.</p>

<p> We also encourage real world election reform campaigns advocating Instant Runoff Voting and Approval Voting for single-winner elections to compare the cost and complexity of implementation of SRV.</p>
