Vote No 2 AV

Our current tried and tested voting system gives everyone one vote and delivers clear outcomes. The ‘Alternative Vote’ is an unfair, complicated, unpopular and expensive system that gives some people more votes than others. AV is unfair - with our current system everyone gets one vote, but under AV voters of less popular parties may get their votes counted two, three or more times. AV is unclear – the third place candidate can be elected. AV is unpopular – just Fiji, Australia and Papua New Guinea use AV and in Australia voters want to get rid of it. AV is expensive - as it is much more complicated to administer.

Keep One Person One Vote, VOTE NO TO AV.
