Alternative voting systems

This activity from NCTM Illuminations explores the mathematics behind alternative voting models. (Because, you know, ours sucks.) This would go well in either an Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 classroom, but would segue way nicer in a class that has seen permutations, combinations, basic statistics and probability.

This article from Illuminations includes a simulation exercise that explores alternative voting systems that can be done with students as early as Algebra 1.
