Elected Together is a new way of electing Senators and Representatives that selects two winners instead of one. One represents the majority viewpoint of the community, and the other represents the strongest minority viewpoint. Both share voting power proportionally based on the level of support they received.
Two Winners Instead of One
Under Elected Together, elections produce two winners:
- A majority winner who reflects the broad mainstream of the community
- A minority winner who reflects the strongest secondary viewpoint
This ensures that the vast majority of voters end up represented by someone they genuinely support — and it is designed to do so without increasing the size of the House or Senate.
Proportional Voting Power
Each winner receives voting power based on the percentage of support they earned.
For example, in a district where 70% of voters support one candidate and 30% support another:
- the majority winner receives 70% voting power
- the minority winner receives 30% voting power
This creates representation that mirrors the actual community.
Not a Proportional Bloc System
Some people assume Elected Together works like the United Kingdom’s proportional bloc model, where each ideological group receives its own small cluster of seats. But that approach fragments legislatures.
Elected Together avoids this by electing two winners whose prevailing viewpoints reflect the broad mainstream of the community — not narrow ideological factions.
