Welcome to the Ranked Choice Voting Community!

Voting is broken! Let’s fix it.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, they are declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates, based on the next preference on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate has a majority. Learn more about how it works.

Why Ranked Choice Voting?

Prevents the tyranny of the middle
Encourages diversity of candidates
Discourages negative campaigning
Provides more choice for voters
Saves money by avoiding runoff elections
