"The Buffalo Charter Revision Commission voted 7-2 Monday to pass a resolution that ensures it will explore open primaries, ranked choice voting (RCV), and expanded ballot access."

"Our current system of single-member districting is uniquely susceptible to gerrymandering. In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling, politicians will gain even greater power to draw congressional, state and local legislative district lines that silence the voices and votes of communities of color. In doing so, they will likely defend these maps as motivated by politics rather than race."
"In response, civil rights groups and other Americans committed to democracy should consider more proportional voting systems that can reduce gerrymandering and make representation less dependent on judicial intervention. Under a typical proportional system, if a group wins, say, one-third of the vote, it could expect to secure roughly one-third of the legislative seats."
⚖️ Here’s a simple idea: Our government should reflect our communities. No one group should get all the representation. That’s proportional representation, and it already works around the world and in the U.S!
Proportional representation effectively eliminates #gerrymandering, both intentional and unintentional, because multi-member districts allow most voters to elect candidates they actually support.
If you're new to our network, we want to make sure you feel right at home! So we will be answering every question you have about #RankedChoiceVoting and other election reforms.
We are inviting all new members to our #AskMeAnything Welcome Series!
🖊️ Politicians drawing their own district lines is like letting students grade their own tests. The result? 77% of American voters want independent commissions to draw maps, not politicians.
Right now, we’re watching a redistricting arms race play out in real time ahead of the 2026 midterms. Voters deserve better.
🗨️ Do you know who drew your congressional district? Should voters, not parties, decide? Tell us in the comments!
Yesterday’s 6-3 Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais gutted the Voting Rights Act and is a devastating setback for American democracy.
Voting rights advocates have long warned that the dismantling Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, will open a Pandora's box of disenfranchisement for minorities and other vulnerable communities. The court’s decision will bring a new wave of racial gerrymandering and jeopardize the representation for millions of Americans in majority-minority districts in the South.
This decision effectively places all gerrymandering beyond meaningful judicial reach and gives voters fewer options for redress. The consequences will accelerate partisan polarization in Congress and in state legislatures.
We mourn the Voting Rights Act, often referred to as the crown jewel of the Civil Rights movement. In the days to come we will work alongside our partners to listen, educate, and fight back against the gerrymandering race to the bottom. The path forward is reform — not retreat. … See MoreSee Less
Four reforms. One mission: a democracy that actually represents everyone!
✅ Ranked Choice Voting: eliminate spoilers, elect majority winners ✅ Open Primaries: let all voters participate in publicly funded elections ✅ Proportional Representation: every voice earns a seat at the table ✅ Fair Maps: independent commissions, not politicians, draw the lines
84% of voters say fair district lines are critical to the health of our democracy. The will is there. Now let’s expand the movement.
Which of these reforms matters most to YOU right now? Share your thoughts in the comments
Next Wednesday from 5 to 9pm eastern, we will be phone banking to reach reform supporters across the country to let them know about opportunities to get involved in their communities!
Join us virtually for training and setup before you get started. Start and stop times are flexible so join when you can and leave when you need to!
With the right data and tools from murmuration provided to RCB through their partnership with Rank the Vote, they were able to identify supporters, mobilize the community, and show up when it mattered most.
This moment was a big step forward for #RankedChoiceVoting in #Boston—and a reminder of what’s possible when community organizing is backed by strong data.
Rank the Vote celebrates Ranked Choice Boston's smart and persistent work that led to success. We are grateful to partner with @murmuration to help make this work possible.
🗳️ Your vote should never be wasted. With ranked choice voting, if your first choice doesn’t advance, your ballot counts for your next pick — every round, every voice.
📍 In 2026, RCV is being used in 19 cities and states across the nation — and the movement is growing fast.
💬 Have you ever felt forced to vote for the “lesser of two evils”?
In Maine, the Sierra Club endorsed three candidates!
“We always say the great news is you can vote for all of us. And of course, each of us wants to be ranked number one, but if we’re not somebody’s number one, we want to be their number two.”
In the #RCV primary, these candidates were able to highlight the ways they have worked together on environmental issues over their careers.
“There are a lot of good people in this race. With (#RankedChoiceVoting), Mainers don’t have to choose fear over hope. You can vote with your values and be heard.”
The Maine chapter of the Sierra Club has endorsed three candidates in the Democratic gubernatorial primary: Shenna Bellows, Troy Jackson and Hannah Pingree. At a press conference Wednesday, Emma Conra…
"By making the program permanent and codifying best practices, this legislation ensures that any locality that wants to adopt ranked choice voting will have a clear and durable framework to do so." – Liz White, executive director of UpVote Virginia
The recent #RCV ban in Ohio seeks to limit the ability of voters to fully express their preferences and have more choices without vote splitting.
As Tyler Minton writes: "By banning ranked choice voting and penalizing communities that consider it, Ohio leaders have limited local control and signaled a lack of trust in voters to shape their own elections."

🚪Nearly half of American voters call themselves independents, but in many states, they’re locked out of primary elections entirely.
📊 In 2024, 87% of the U.S. House of Representatives was effectively elected by just 7% of Americans, a tiny slice of highly partisan primary voters.
That’s not a democracy. That’s a closed club. Open primaries fix it.
