National Ranked Choice Voting Letter to the Editor Training

Voters are often forced to choose a candidate who isn’t their first choice for fear of their vote not counting or contributing to a spoiler effect of a third-party candidate. Over and over and over again. Citizens have little choice and third-party candidates never seem to have a real shot at winning elections.

The solution? Let voters rank their favorite candidates with Ranked Choice Voting.

With Ranked Choice Voting, you rank your favorite candidates in order of preference. If your first choice is mathematically eliminated, your vote still counts toward your second choice. That way, you can vote your conscience without worrying about accidentally electing the candidate you like the least.

That means no more choosing between the lesser of two evils, more choices on the ballot because party candidates who earned at least 50% of the vote in the primary will be included, and more positive and civil campaigns overall.
