Arizona, Nevada, and other western states, plus D.C., will determine the future of ranked choice voting.

      The depressing thing is, that’s completely true. That’s why RCV is important.

      It’s not a cure-all but it’s a hell of lot better than FPTP.

        The Simpsons, back when it was actually good, predicted so many things so accurately. It’s pretty crazy.

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
