This landmark legislation would institute ranked choice voting for all primary
and general elections for the U.S. House and Senate beginning in 2028. Ask your
members of Congress to support the RCV Act. Donate Today Dear John,

Today, Sen. Peter Welch (VT) and Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD-8) and Don Beyer (VA-8)
introduced the Ranked Choice Voting Act in Congress. This landmark legislation
would instituteranked choice voting(RCV) for all primary and general elections
for the U.S. House and Senate.

Ask your members of Congress to support the RCV Acthere.

Ranked choice voting is the nation’s fastest-growing election reform, used in
public elections for all voters in50 cities, counties, and states. RCV has won
in 27 city ballot measures in a row, and with RCV on the ballot in Colorado,
Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon, the number of states using it could triple this fall.

Voters love RCV because it delivers better choices, better campaigns, and better
governance. It discourages negative campaigning, and ensures winners have
majority support. Several candidates can compete for a seat without fear of
splitting the vote or playing “spoiler,” which opens our politics to new voices.
Voters can rank their preferences honestly, instead of worrying about wasting
their vote or having to vote for the “lesser of two evils.”

RCV already has a proven record in congressional elections. Maine has used it
for congressional primaries and general elections since 2018, and Alaska has
used it for general elections since 2022. Six Southern states – Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina – send ranked
choice ballots to military and overseas voters so they can participate in
runoffs.

The RCV Act would take effect in 2028. It would save states tens of millions of
dollars by replacing runoffs with RCV, and would provide funds to states for
voter education and RCV implementation.

Reps. Dan Goldman (NY-10), Derek Kilmer (WA-6), Barbara Lee (CA-12), Seth
Moulton (MA-6), and Scott Peters (CA-50) are cosponsoring the RCV Act. FairVote
Action is excited to work with all these leaders to build support for the RCV
Act in Congress!

Sincerely,
Ryan Suto
