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?

Here you go, here's an olive branch to the "both sides" people. It sounds like, in Nevada, you are correct.

I fully agree.

We can acknowledge that the system is tilted by money and media, without giving up as if it's all in control of the King and we can't do anything. I hear people talk about policing in their city, or wanting economic equity in the country, or what-have-you, as if it's all in the hands of the Gods and we have to moan about how they haven't done it for us yet, and hope that they do someday.

Doesn't work that way. The city council runs the police. There are elections. And so on. Make a union. Organize. Vote.
