FairVote works with a team of academic advisers on research issues relating to ranked choice voting (RCV). In 2013-2014, for example, several advisory committee members conducted a research project into the potential impact of RCV on the tone and substance of campaigns for which we received $300,000 from the Democracy Fund. At a March 2014 workshop from Stanford University's Program on American Democracy in Comparative Perspective, eight ranked choice voting academic advisers and FairVote’s Rob Richie gave presentations on electoral system reform.
