Dear John,

Today, the Voter Choice Act was reintroduced in the House of Representatives!
The act will provide $40 million in federal matching grants to support cities,
counties, and states that choose to adoptranked choice voting(RCV). Please take
a few minutes and use thissimple formto ask your members of Congress 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 in50 cities, counties, and
states, reaching approximately 16 million Americans. RCV has won 27 city ballot
measures in a row, and the number of states using RCV could triple this year,
with at least Nevada and Oregon (and possibly Idaho and Colorado) 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


The Voter Choice Act was previously reintroduced in the Senate by Michael Bennet
(CO) and co-sponsored by Angus King (ME); the House bill is sponsored by Dean
Phillips (MN-3), and co-sponsored by Angie Craig (MN-2), Don Beyer (VA-8), and
Jamie Raskin (MD-8).

We look forward to advocating for its passage in Congress!


Thank you for your support,
