Giving electors the option of voting for a re-vote should mean that parties think more about what their constituents want, rather than leaving constituents forced to choose between candidates they don’t have full confidence in. If a request for a re-vote receives more votes than any candidate the election should be re-run, giving parties and candidates an opportunity to reconsider what their constituents want.
