The potential consequences of electoral reform include increased voter participation, enhanced representation, and improved political accountability. Reforms such as ranked-choice voting or proportional representation can empower marginalized voices and diminish the dominance of large political parties. However, such changes can also create challenges, including resistance from established parties, confusion among voters unfamiliar with new systems, and unforeseen impacts on the political landscape. Ultimately, successful electoral reform aims to foster a more inclusive and democratic process, addressing issues of disenfranchisement and ensuring that all citizens' preferences are accurately reflected.
