Voting for candidates that support it.

Or passing ballot measures, the city I live in passed a measure last month to have ranked choice

Here's an interesting anecdote. The people of Shelby County, TN elected to enact ranked choice voting in the county (it was a ballot option 2 elections ago). It hasn't been signed into law yet.

So at least in this case, I'd say the problem isn't people not voting, it's nefarious agents succeeding in subverting the feeble democratic processes in this country to act against the people's interest.
