SV System Reshapes Greater Manchester Mayoral Race | Manchester News

The Greater Manchester mayoral race is heating up with a new voting system—Supplementary Votes—that lets you pick both a first and second choice. Unlike last time’s first-past-the-post, this twist could reshape the outcome: if no one hits 50%, the top two battle it out with second-preference votes counted. Labour may benefit from Green and Lib Dem second-choice support, while Reform voters might be less likely to back rivals. Experts say it could give winners broader mandates but risks electing a compromise candidate over a true favorite. With no party even close to 50% in recent local races, those second votes could be make-or-break—especially for Reform, who thrived under the old system.
