Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is spreading fast. In November in Nevada, RootsAction helped win a public vote to use ranked choice voting in general elections. (It has to pass again in 2024 to take effect.) Nevada will join Alaska and Maine, as well as some 60 localities around the United States.

Also in 2022, voters chose to use RCV from now on in various types of elections in Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Maine; Evanston, Illinois; Fort Collins, Colorado; Arlington, Virginia; and several other places.

The state of Georgia decided to use RCV for overseas ballots, as many states do.

As you probably know, with RCV you vote for your first-choice candidate and your second-choice candidate, etc., and if no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, then the votes from the candidate with the fewest get redistrubuted based on those voters' second choices, etc. This way you can vote for a candidate you really like and at the very same time vote for a lesser-evil candidate you think you need to support in order to defeat the candidate you most fear.

In the past year, RCV has been used successfully with positive results all over the United States, including in San Francisco, Oakland, Takoma Park, San Leandro, Corvallis, Maine's second Congressional district, and Alaska's U.S. Senate race.
