The need to reform America’s democracy is a desire felt across the political spectrum.

2020 was a watershed year for the #RankedChoiceVoting movement. Legislation favorable to RCV passed in VA and UT, RCV was approved in 7 out of 8 ballot measures, and RCV was used successfully for the first time in 5 Democratic presidential primaries.

Every election cycle, FairVote uses a powerful tool called Monopoly Politics to predict the results of all 435 House of Representatives elections - two years before they actually occur.

FairVote has joined the Level the Playing Field v. FEC lawsuit seeking to prohibit the use of an unreasonably high polling threshold for presidential candidates to access the debates held by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

As most of the 2020 election cycle has wrapped up, citizens have seen all levels of governments take shape, however, the composition of the U.S. Senate will remain incomplete until January, when the Senate runoff elections are called in GA.

Based on FairVote research, this is a state-by-state breakdown of all campaign events by the major-party presidential and vice presidential nominees from the end of both party conventions through Election Day. 

On Tuesday, December 1, FairVote hosted a webinar to analyze the exciting victories of ranked choice voting (RCV) ballot measures this year. The webinar was part of our Fall series on The Future of American Elections.

For centuries, the promise of American democracy has been denied to communities of color.
