Rank the Vote is excited to support national and local efforts to advance the Ranked Choice Voting Act (RCV Act)!
The RCV Act would expand voter power across the United States. We have seen how #RankedChoiceVoting lowers negative campaigning and increases dialogue on the issues that matter most to voters.
The RCV Act would make Congress and the members we elect more responsive to people instead of partisanship and polarization!
Join us tonight at 8 eastern for our workshop on writing letters to the editor. Join other #RCV enthusiasts in crafting letters for your local newspapers and online media outlets.
No previous experience needed, as we will start off discussing best practices and answering questions!
This wouldn't be the first instance of the major parties using #RCV for their primary. For example in 2021, Virginia Republicans used RCV to pick their gubernatorial candidate who went on to win in the general election

Some recent polls show that three-quarters (75%) of Americans say that #partisan#gerrymandering is a major problem!
About two-thirds (67%) of Americans say that they would prefer for districts in their state to be drawn in a way that doesn’t give an advantage to either Democrats or Republicans. While both Democrats and Republicans say they would prefer for districts to be drawn in an unbiased way.
