Outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said one of his biggest regrets is that Canada doesn’t use #RankedChoiceVoting. But Canada’s Liberal and Conservative parties both use #RCV to choose their leaders, so his party will elect the next PM with RCV.

From @americanbar.org: “In sum, the research provides evidence that #RCV is an improvement over plurality voting with clear benefits in terms of representation, campaign quality, mobilization, and turnout.”

Why are partisan politicians in Ohio and West Virginia trying to ban cities from using #RankedChoiceVoting? They want to restrict voter influence because they fear that if #RCV proves popular, momentum could build for broader adoption at higher levels.

Senate Bill 63 wouldn't just ban #RankedChoiceVoting, it would violate the Ohio Constitution's Home Rule Authority for charter cities and counties to choose how we elect our own leaders. Learn more: rtvo.org/stoptheban

“Opponents of #RCV argue, without evidence, that it is confusing or unfair or ahistorical. The reality is that special interests and politicians who benefit from the status quo are the ones truly threatened by a system that empowers voters.”
