Americans are frustrated with the state of our democracy. 88% say our political system is broken, and 85% say most elected officials don’t care what people like them think.
The Voter Choice Act (H.R.9634) would strengthen democracy by helping cities, counties, and states that choose to adopt ranked choice voting (RCV).

Benefits of the Voter Choice Act
More voter choice, no more “spoilers”
Voters can pick their favorite, and rank backup choices. If your 1st choice can’t win, your vote automatically counts for your next choice.
Turns down the temperature in politics
Candidates do best when they reach out to more voters, including voters who are ranking other candidates first.
Majority winners
Winners elected with RCV have majority support and a stronger mandate to lead.
Upholds home rule
Cities, counties, and states can decide for themselves whether to use RCV.
Voters like ranked choice voting
Exit polls show that voters who use ranked choice voting like it and want to keep using it.
Saves money and increases participation
RCV can replace delayed runoff elections, saving taxpayer dollars and letting more voters weigh in.
The Voter Choice Act empowers communities to be laboratories of democracy
America’s founders wanted states to be laboratories of democracy – experimenting and innovating with new policies that other places can learn from. The Voter Choice Act supports that principle by making it easier for cities, counties, and states to choose RCV for themselves.
Communities across the United States are already showing how RCV makes elections better. From Alaska to Maine and New York City to Portland, OR, we’ve seen RCV make campaigns more positive, provide better representation, and save millions when replacing delayed runoff elections.
