Election season is the best time to have conversations about a better way to
vote – ranked choice voting! Donate Today!


Dear John,

On November 5, the number of states using ranked choice voting (RCV) could
triple – from two to six. Any of the four states where RCV is on the ballot –
Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, or Oregon – would become the most populous state to
adopt the reform. Washington, DC; Oak Park and Peoria, IL; and Richmond, CA will
also vote on RCV, which has now won 27 cityballot measuresin a row.

If you know anyone living in those states or cities, remind them to vote for
ranked choice voting!

Make a Plan to Vote This is also a time when over 100 million Americans are
thinking about (perhaps dreading) the election. Many Americans think democracy
isn’t working and wonder why we don’t have more choices on the ballot – and why
we’re told to fear “spoilers” and pick the lesser of two evils.

That makes it the best time to have conversations about a better way to vote –
ranked choice voting!With RCV, we get better choices, majority winners, less
toxic campaigns, and no more spoilers. If you want to talk with friends and
family about ranked choice voting, here are some quick resources that may help:
