In recent years, ranked-choice voting has been adopted in state and local elections around the country.
What do you think, John: Would you like to see more places shifting toward ranked-choice voting in their elections? Take our quick survey to share your thoughts!
In an election with more than two candidates, ranked-choice voting allows voters to actually rank candidates from favorite to least favorite.
If the voter’s first choice is eliminated from contention, their vote is then allocated to their second choice, and so forth.
In fact, rank-choice voting is already used in places and jurisdictions of all sizes, such as states like Maine and Alaska, and cities like New York City and San Francisco.
Several other states also allow military and overseas voters access to ranked-choice voting, even in places that don’t otherwise allow for it.
But Republicans and far-right groups have repeatedly attacked ranked-choice voting because they’re afraid that giving voters more options will result in more Democratic wins.
We’d like to hear your thoughts, John: Do you support expanding ranked-choice voting?
