** Dear John,

Looking for ways to support better elections with ranked choice voting ([link removed]) ? Right now is the perfect time to get involved!

Each year on and around January 23, our state and national partners celebrate Ranked Choice Voting Day, because RCV is as easy as 1-2-3!

To kick off the festivities, Rank The Vote ([link removed]) is hosting a national celebration ([link removed]) online on January 22 at 8pm ET. The event will celebrate what our movement accomplished in 2025, and what’s ahead in 2026.
