The state of Utah made history last week when both the Republican and Democratic parties held their annual state conventions using #RankedChoiceVoting in conjunction with online voting.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, Alaska became the latest state to conduct an election entirely with VBM, joining Colorado, Utah, Hawaii, and Washington. This provides a stark contrast from Wisconsin’s, in which 48,875 votes were wasted.

The 2020 presidential primary season is in full swing. The Democratic Party had a large field of candidates, many of whom have since dropped out. While the remaining candidates have been declared the winners, there has been one clear loser: the majority of voters.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is once again making headlines. This week, the New York Times jumped headfirst into explaining why RCV is surging in popularity. The NYT’s Jacey Fortin gives an in-depth look at the history of Ranked Choice Voting, how it works, and who supports it.
