The data is clear:Americans think our democracy is broken. They’re unhappy with
their choices in elections, and say elected officials don’t care what people
like them think.

Meanwhile, politicians gerrymander district lines for partisan gain – right now,
Republicans and Democrats are in an escalating redistricting war, with each
threatening to redraw maps to harden their partisan advantages and make
elections even less fair for voters.

Our single-choice, winner-take-all elections are the root of the problem.Voters
feel forced to pick the “lesser of two evils.” Tens of millions are locked out
of representation, and politicians refuse to work together once in office.

That’s where the Fair Representation Act comes in.

How does the Fair Representation Act help?

When ranked choice voting is combined with multi-member districts, it is a form
of proportional representation. That means the Fair Representation Act will
deliver both majority rule and minority voice, greatly increasing the number of
voters who can elect someone who represents their interests.

If a community represents at least 25% of voters in a three-member district or
at least 17% in a five-member district, they’ll be able to elect a candidate of
their choice.

In addition to making gerrymandering nearly impossible, the FRA also gives more
opportunities for Americans across the political spectrum to be represented in
government – including urban Republicans and rural Democrats, women, and people
of color.
