Why is the preferential system regarded as the fairest system of voting?

The preferential system, such as ranked-choice voting, is regarded as fair because it allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. This system ensures that the winning candidate has the support of a majority of voters, as it takes into account voters' second and subsequent choices. It promotes greater representation, reduces strategic voting, and encourages candidates to appeal to a broader base of support.

How does the Australian electoral system work?

We have a system of preferential voting. This means that you vote in order of preference. ie you place the number 1 behind your preferred candidate in case this candidate doesn't get enough votes to be elected you have the choice of putting your next preference behind another candidate and have that vote counted instead by placing the number 2 behind that candidates name and so on. This system of voting while seeming cumbersome is by far the fairest system of voting because it goes to great pains to see to it that every vote eventualy goes to either the winer or the runner up. Recently preferential voting has become optional.
