Why Ranked Choice Voting / Instant Runoff Voting?
Ranked choice voting, also known as instant runoff voting, promotes healthier competition, fair elections, and more positive campaigns while also saving money by eliminating the need for runoff elections.
Saves Money
By eliminating the need for separate runoff elections, ranked choice voting saves time, money, and energy.
Greater Choice
Ranked choice voting opens the way for more candidates to run in general elections, increasing competition.
Stronger Voice, Broad Support
Democracy is strongest when more voices are heard. Too often, candidates win elections despite being opposed by most voters. Ranked choice voting promotes majority support and makes voters feel our vote matters.
More Issues, Less Negative
Candidates are more likely to run civil campaigns when second and third choice votes are at stake.
