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 50 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! |
