Support for Ranked-Choice Voting Is Growing

| Bill King | RealClearPolitics |

Voters in seven states voted on a record 10 ranked-choice voting (RCV) initiatives last week, including a proposal to use RCV for most elections in the state of Nevada. In that state and seven other jurisdictions, the RCV initiatives passed.

When these results are added to RCV initiatives over the last five years, voters have now approved RCV in 25 out of 30 elections, an astonishing 83% win rate. These results are consistent with recent polling. A University of Maryland poll earlier this year found that 62% of Americans support the adoption of RCV in federal elections.
