Why Ranked Choice Voting / Instant Runoff Voting?

Posted by Kathryn Hite de Sousa · February 28, 2020 7:39 AM

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.

By eliminating the need for separate runoff elections, Ranked Choice Voting saves time, money, and energy.

Greater Choice

Greater Choice

Ranked Choice Voting opens the way for more candidates to run in general elections, increasing competition.

 

 

 

Greater Choice

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 Issue-Focused, Less Negative Campaigning

More Issues, Less Negative

Candidates are more likely to run civil campaigns when second and third choice votes are at stake.
