What is ranked choice voting?

This article is a great overview.

What's happening in my state?

The same article lists some things, and Wikipedia has more details.

Here's what on the ballot this year:

  • Alaska is voting to repeal RCV
  • Arizona is voting on a proposition for non-partisan primaries and RCV
  • Colorado is voting on using RCV
  • Connecticut is evaluating RCV for legislation in 2025
  • District of Columbia is voting on using RCV
  • Idaho is voting on using RCV
  • Missouri is voting on banning RCV altogether
  • Montana is voting on a proposition for non-partisan primaries
  • Nevada is voting on using RCV for federal and state elections
  • Oregon is voting on using RCV for federal and state elections
  • South Dakota is voting on non-partisan top 2 primaries
  • Texas has a group working on ranked choice voting

Register to vote, check your registration, make sure you're in a position to fix voting. It's important. It's not as far away as you think.

Ranked Choice Voting

Welcome to the Ranked Choice Voting Community!

Voting is broken! Let's fix it.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, they are declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates, based on the next preference on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate has a majority. Learn more about how it works.

Why Ranked Choice Voting?
