@wslack Exactly. The unfortunate way that #RCV is often described, as if there were actual rounds, makes some vote counters decide they need to report only the top choices at first. But #FairVote knows that the right way would be to report the tally for each permutation when it is known. It is, after all, an #INSTANTrunoff. #RankedChoiceVoting

Das ganze ist keine Raketenwissenschaft, mit #InstantRunoff gibt es etabliertes und einfaches Verfahren, welches für genau dieses Setting existiert. Die #WienerGrünen haben es unter anderem bei ihrer Vorsitzwahl vor ein paar Jahren (bei der Birgit #Hebein) gewann erfolgreich eingesetzt.

What, Why, How: Ranked Choice Voting in Pennsylvania

Join us for a presentation on how we're making Ranked Choice Voting a reality in Pennsylvania! Join MoH volunteers Marin Exler, Cameron Brown, and George Stern to learn more about the benefits of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). Tired of feeling like your vote doesn't matter? Tired of being forced into voting for the "lesser of two evils"? Don't fret, we have the solution: Ranked Choice Voting! RCV is a voting method in which voters can rank candidates instead of picking just one, resulting in elections that avoid "lesser of two evils voting," reducing vote-splitting, and encouraging a pool of more diverse candidates. Other benefits of RCV include reducing the two-party stronghold, decreasing toxic campaigning, increasing representation of women, and increasing representation of people of color. RCV is used around the world and is gaining momentum across the United States as a common sense, more representative, and more democratic voting system.

Our preferential system of voting gives Australians the opportunity to loosen the stifling grip of the two party system while maintaining political stability.

For the most part, we are only given two choices in terms of government, so you should almost never give your first preference to the Coalition or Labor. Put your preferred government (out of those two) second.

You can even put them further down the list, as long as you preference them above the government you want to avoid. The only time this doesn't apply is when you are offered no viable alternatives.

Research the others. See who else might better represent you. Make them number one. We don't have to live in Groundhog Day.

I'm a Green, but this is not just for Greens voters.

Evaluating the Effects of the Top-Four System in Alaska - R Street

Executive Summary In 2020, Alaska modified its electoral process to a top-four ranked choice voting system and away from more traditional partisan primaries, making Alaska the first state to do so for state executive and legislative races, as well as federal congressional seats. The 2022 cycle was the first time an alternative system was employed […]

From #RCVMontana
A thriving democracy is one that gives voters more choice and fair representation. It values civil discourse and common ground over partisanship. We believe that a ranked choice method of voting better achieves these ideals over the current system.
