11 cities used ranked choice voting in November. We have the details about each of them.

Incumbent Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin finally conceded the state’s gubernatorial election today after a recanvass of votes failed to have any meaningful change in results, capping off a tense week of speculation and debate extending into foundational democratic principles.

Here’s a primer of the 11 cities featuring ranked choice voting this fall, a total which includes five first-time uses. In fact, this year's contests will mark a record for the sheer amount of RCV elections on the same day. Give it a look!

Major publications, including the New York Times, have written glowingly of the effort to implement RCV in New York City.

FairVote has conducted an analysis of all federal primary elections since 1994 and determined that they face decreased turnout, especially for people of color. Ranked choice voting is a potential solution.

Despite a setback this week, Caflifornia reformers have every reason to be optimistic about expanding RCV. A remarkable coalition effort involving major civil rights groups and thousands of grassroots activists came together to urge California Governor Gavin Newsom to allow general law cities and counties to join charter cities and counties in being able to adopt RCV.

“Bold New City of the South,” “Where Florida Begins,” “It’s Easier Here”—those have all been taglines for Jacksonville, Florida through the years, ever since the city and county governments consolidated in the late 1960’s. Each is incredibly relevant to getting ranked choice voting (RCV) passed, not just in Jacksonville, not just in Florida, but across the country.
