Bringing Ranked Choice Voting to Washington State
Politics are broken. Voters feel disempowered, communities don’t feel represented, and constructive disagreement has gone out the window. Ranked choice voting (RCV) is a simple improvement to the way we vote. Vote for candidates in the order you prefer: 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, and so on. If your favorite can’t win, your vote counts for your next choice.
Voters Like Ranked Choice Voting
Ranked choice voting is the fastest-growing non-partisan reform in the U.S. Voters who try ranked choice voting say it’s simple and they want to keep using it.
Ranked Choice Voting Improves Representation
More women and people of color run and win with ranked choice voting, so governments better reflect their communities.
Empowers Voters
Ranked choice voting gives you more say. Vote for who you really want, then rank your backup choices. No more voting for the lesser of two evils.
The Right Incentives
Ranked choice voting rewards politicians who reach beyond their base to build common ground, producing civil, issue-focused campaigns that focus on solutions.
