He debuted at the national of the campaign in London, Izzard current first past electors voting next month after a referendum to change the system emphasized.
Speaking to Sky News, he said: "It is as simple as one, two, three - you have a choice of putting down just one choice, or two or three... It will be one person, one definite vote, before it was one invisible person whose vote does not get counted.
"It will mean MPs will have to work harder to get your vote because not only do they have to talk to their core support, but also to other people to get them down as a second choice.
"It's a fairer system, and in this world people want more choice. It's not like it was in the Fifties when broadly people were voting for the Labour Party or Tories.
"Politics is multi-coloured and people's lives are multi-coloured. We have never had a chance in 100 years to vote for how we do the voting, so I think it is good we take this chance otherwise we will wake up with politics as usual on May 6."
