Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is advancing in Massachusetts, thanks to advocacy and to the success of the NYC Mayoral Primary which used RCV to elect newcomer Zohran Mamdani. The benefits for this more equitable alternative voting system are many:
1- Making it easier for non-traditional, lower income, and minority candidates to run, producing a wider choice for voters, including women candidates!
2- Creating more civil campaigns that focus on issues, not personal attacks.
3- Breaking the stranglehold of the two-party system which has devolved into the ‘lesser of two evils’.
4- People’s votes count, even if their first choice is not viable. Their vote is not wasted.
5- Creating enough interest to re-engage jaded and younger voters, increasing voter turnout.
Learn how an Alternative Voting System could work in your community, and why it’s a game-changer that creates fairer, more open elections with more choice and less acrimony.
