Ask your senators to support the Voter Choice Act

Dear John,

Today, the Voter Choice Act was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate by Michael Bennet (CO) and co-sponsored by Angus King (ME). The act will provide $40 million in federal matching grants to support cities, counties, and states that choose to adopt ranked choice voting (RCV).

Please take a few minutes and use this simple form to ask your senators to support the Voter Choice Act.

Why the Voter Choice Act matters

RCV is the nation’s fastest-growing election reform because it’s popular with voters and elected officials alike. It is now used in over 50 cities, counties, and states, reaching approximately 16 million Americans. Just last Tuesday, five cities voted to adopt, keep, or expand RCV – and it could expand even further in 2024, with at least Nevada and Oregon voting on whether to adopt it statewide.

RCV is easy to implement, and the Voter Choice Act would make it even easier. Voter Choice Act funds can go toward upgrading voting equipment and tabulation software (all modern voting machines are RCV-compatible), appropriate ballot design, development and publication of educational materials, and voter outreach. That’s in addition to the cost savings that many cities and counties see when they use RCV to replace runoffs!

“Ranked choice voting makes our elections better by giving voters better choices and rewarding candidates who run issues-driven campaigns. While most cities actually save money by using RCV to replace runoffs or two-round contests, the Voter Choice Act will give more Americans the opportunity to try RCV – by helping to offset any voter education and implementation costs with approaches that further boost election security and voter confidence.” – Deb Otis, FairVote Action Director of Research and Policy
