I've been crawling the web, gearing up to teach voting systems in my Math for Liberal Arts course. I want to pass on this interesting site.
The voting that we do in the US is a modified plurality vote. One problem with our system is that often the winning canidate has not garnered a majority. One popular alternative used frequently in other countries is run-off voting, or what we call the Hare method in class. I found a video (below) and a great site, Choiceranker to explain how run-off voting works. Choiceranker even gives you the chance to participate in opinion polls that use the run-off method. Check them out.
