Ranked Choice Voting
A Fair Vote for Democracy
The national movement towards Ranked Choice Voting is rapidly growing because it makes democracy more fair and functional. Instead of choosing a single candidate, voters rank multiple candidates. If your vote doesn't help the first choice win, you still have a say on the rest of the candidates. These mechanics lead to improvements in democratic elections and the resulting government:
Leads to more representative outcomes
Enforces majority rule versus small pluralities
Less negative campaigning
Addresses the spoiler effect
Reduces polarization
Encourages collaboration for elected officials
