1. All voters get a say in who is elected…with runoff elections many voters don’t return for the runoff, so they lose their voice and their vote.

2. It keeps the cost of elections down, with one election on one day with the will of the voters selecting the winner. This costs the taxpayers less, is one stop voting, and saves candidates the costs and consequences for having to raise money for two elections. (general and possible runoff) This reduces the influence of special interests that fund local elections.

3. It keeps campaigns more civil, candidates will be less tempted to blast a opponent with negative adds, because that could cost them the second or third choice support form that candidates voter base.

4. One election, one day, with all winners having a majority of the votes.
