With as many as 18 candidates in the Democratic primary for IL-09, it is clear that Illinois desperately needs ranked choice voting for its primary elections. This race could theoretically be won by a candidate with as little as 5.56% of the vote due to vote splitting. RCV would require the winning candidate to have a true majority of >50%, all while mitigating the problems of "spoilers" and "vote splitting."

The Cook County Clerk's office continues to work against the 82% of Evanston voters that voted to adopt ranked choice voting in a binding referendum in 2022. Democracy must be respected. The mandate is absolutely clear: Evanston voters demand more choices with ranked choice voting.

In 2022, Evanston, IL voted 82% yes to implement ranked choice voting. The office of the Cook County Clerk has refused to enact the people's will. Reform for Illinois is challenging them in court, and we've got their back.

More choices with ranked choice voting. That's the mandate from the people of Evanston.
