"Vote Together" was Leadnow's 2015 election campaign, "the best-organized strategic voting project [the] election, with a footprint in dozens of ridings", according to The Globe and Mail.[6] Amara Possian, campaign manager for Vote Together, told The New York Times in 2015 that "the long-term objective of Vote Together is to make strategic voting obsolete by replacing Canada's winner-take-all system".[7][8]
After the 2015 election, Leadnow supporters campaigned to change the voting system from first-past-the-post to some form of proportional representation.[9] They were unsuccessful when the Liberal government abandoned its promise "to ensure that 2015 will be the last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system"[10] in February 2017.[11]
