Equality of Votes in Elections

Does democracy truly mean equality? This question resurfaces when we talk about the value of each vote. For some, it’s simple: one person – one vote, regardless of where they live. For others, it’s more nuanced: less-populated regions should still have real influence, even if it means unequal vote weight. This debate reveals a deep divide between arithmetic fairness and political representation. Should the system be “fair” or “balancing”? Or are those two ideas fundamentally at odds? Take the poll and share your vision of what democracy should look like.
