Votación por orden de preferencia
Common Cause is fighting for fair elections that truly represent the will of the voters by advocating for ranked choice voting.
Traditional elections in the U.S. can make voters feel like their choices are limited. It might seem like there is a predetermined winner—typically the most well-connected or well-funded. Or, voters may feel like they are choosing the lesser of two evils in order to prevent a worst-case scenario.
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) can help. With RCV, voters rank candidates from favorite to least favorite. On Election Night, first-choice votes are counted to determine who voters like the best. If a candidate receives a majority of votes, they win. If no candidate receives a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice rankings is eliminated. If your favorite candidate is eliminated, your vote is instantly counted toward your next choice. This repeats until one candidate reaches a majority and wins.
Elections should represent voters’ choices fairly and accurately. Ranked Choice Voting amplifies the voice of the people.
