RCV on the ballot in 2023

Three major Michigan cities are voting on RCV this November – East Lansing,
Kalamazoo, and Royal Oak. Passing these ballot measures would make Michigan a
national leader in the better elections movement, and Rank MI Vote is leading
the charge! Its volunteers have collected thousands of signatures across all
three cities to place RCV on the ballot. Help them make sure RCV WINS this fall!

Everywhere it’s used, voters like and understand RCV – and Minnetonka was no
exception when it used RCV for thefirst time in 2021. Most voters ranked a
winning candidate – the exact kind of consensus-building that RCV promotes, and
one of the reasons why it’s the fastest-growing nonpartisan voting reform in the
nation.

That success hasn’t stopped opponents of RCV from placing a measure on the
ballot to repeal the reform.FairVote Minnesotais leading the campaign for a “no”
vote, and they’re looking for volunteers to help.

Passage of those measures would double the number of states using RCV, the
largest expansion in American history.The states are home to more than seven
million people combined.

Nevada already voted infavor of RCVlast year (state law requires
citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to pass twice in a row), and so did
Oregon’slargest cityandcounty.

It's not just Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, and Nevada – dozens more cities are
already on their path to RCV ballot measures in the coming years! This pipeline
of interest is generated both by the efforts of grassroots advocates and by
interested local officials – a great sign of our movement's growth! We’ll keep
you updated as these efforts develop, and let you know when and where it’s time
for all hands on deck.

Thank you for supporting FairVote and RCV. With your support, we are poised to
win big in 2023 and 2024!
