Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. If your first choice doesn’t have a chance to win, your ballot counts for your next choice.
RCV works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. RCV means better choices, better campaigns, and better representation.

There are a number of states that have implemented ranked choice in various localities. That’s effectively the strategy being followed by Fair vote. State level changes since that’s where there is most agility. Do that enough and eventually national changes will seem obvious and overdue.
But really, what we could have done and can do is require at a minimum, as a litmus test, candidates who support RCV.
The more states demonstrate that it works, the easier it becomes to convince the nation.
