Ranked choice voting levels the playing field for women, candidates of color, and people new to the political game. Candidates don't have to worry about "spoiling the election" and voters don't have to worry about "strategic voting." #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV #Illinois #Democracy #ElectoralReform

The @cookcountyclerk.bsky.social 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 #RankedChoiceVoting. The office of @cookcountyclerk.bsky.social has refused to enact the people's will. Reform for Illinois is fighting them in court, and we've got their back. @evanstonroundtable.bsky.social #Democracy #Illinois #EvanstonIllinois
