3 cities have passed RCV in IL, but implementation is stalled by legal uncertainty.

Happy RCV Day (1/23)!

Ranked choice voting is a simple upgrade to the way we vote that gives voters more choices and more power at the ballot box. By allowing voters to rank their candidates in order of preference, RCV mitigates the so-called "spoiler effect" and allows voters to vote for their true preferences without fear of "wasting" their vote.

CHICAGO NEEDS RANKED CHOICE VOTING, SPREAD THE WORD!

#RCV would mitigate the "spoiler effect" in Chicago's mayoral races. That means voters could vote their true preference without feeling pressured to vote for only who they feel "can win" or is "electable." It also saves >$20 million every four years by avoiding the need for runoff elections. Comment what we could do in this city with an extra $20m every four years! 👇💬

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."

Why should parties use RCV in primaries? It drives party unity. Under the current system, the winning candidate could win with <50% of the vote when many candidates are running, which leaves many party members disappointed and unenthused with their presidential candidate. RCV requires the winner to have true majority support (>50%), so the winner is a true consensus choice that more voters in the party can actually be excited about.
