Our Goal

The Third Party Advocate is a non-partisan resource for furthering the goals and viability of the minor party movement. Our goal is to serve the interests of the voting public by helping minor parties become influential alternatives to Politics As Usual. Our primary focus is on those newly interested in minor party politics and political novices. Additionally, we provide news and resources valuable to any minor party member, activist, or group interested in increasing their knowledge and effectiveness in the political arena.

Featured Resource:

Instant runoff voting (IRV) is a voting reform that asks the voter to rank the candidates in order of preference.  It is simple, common-sense reform that will greatly improve our democratic process. 

IRV has many benefits including giving voters a wider range of choices, eliminating the spoiler factor with third-party candidates, saving taxpayer money, and decreasing negative campaigning.

We need to continue educating more Americans about this simple, practical reform.
