Dear John,

We know you're getting lots of emails today, so we'll keep this one short:
Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the 2024 election, and it’s crucial that you
make your voice heard! In addition to the presidential election, a record number
of states will vote on ranked choice voting ballot measures, and many states and
cities will hold ranked choice voting elections! Any win would mark a massive
step forward for the movement!

Find Your Polling Place If you aren’t registered to vote, it might not be too
late! See if your state offers same-day voter registration here.

Below are key ballot measures and elections we’re watching this week. Visit
FairVote’s website for more information on this year’s statewideand local RCV
elections. (And if you have family or friends in the cities and states below,
please remind them to vote, too!)

Ranked choice voting ballot measures

* Voters in Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon will vote on whether to adopt
ranked choice voting statewide! Any one of those states would become the
largest state in the union to use RCV.
* Washington, DC; Oak Park, IL; and Richmond, CA will vote on whether to adopt
RCV for local elections. Peoria, IL will vote on a resolution asking Illinois
to adopt RCV statewide.
* Alaska and Bloomington, MN will vote on whether to keep RCV. Missouri will
vote on a cynical ballot measure to ban both noncitizen voting and RCV.

Ranked choice voting elections

* Alaska and Maine will use RCV to award their presidential electoral votes and
choose their members of Congress, including a U.S. senator in Maine. In these
states, voters can honestly rank their favorite candidates for president,
without worrying about playing “spoiler” or feeling forced to choose the
lesser of two evils. Alaska will also use RCV to elect its state legislature.
* 12 cities and counties will use ranked choice voting this November, across
six states (CA, DE, ME, MD, OR, and VA).
* Portland, Oregon will use RCV for the first time and elect a new city
government, including the mayor and 12 city council members! Portland voters
overwhelmingly supported ranked choice voting as part of a 2022 charter
reform package to overhaul their city government.

In short, this could be the biggest election ever for ranked choice voting, with
millions of voters using the reform or deciding whether to adopt it. We’ll post
the results of RCV ballot measures on this page, so stay tuned!

Sincerely,
Will Mantell
FairVote Director of Communications
