When voters in Portland, Maine headed to the polls on Super Tuesday, the presidential primary race wasn’t the only thing on their minds.

Two bills that would allow Virginia municipalities to adopt ranked choice voting (RCV) in certain local elections are headed to Governor Ralph Northam’s desk after passing the State Senate last Thursday, February 27.

The New York Times published a full-page editorial promoting ranked choice voting. Read more about it here!

Need more proof that ranked choice voting (RCV) transcends political ideology, benefiting voters across the political spectrum? How about this: the United Kingdom’s largest left-wing party is electing its leader via RCV and, at the same time, Canada’s largest right-wing party is doing the same. And they’re doing it entirely by their own choice, based on party rules.

As Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) gains traction at the federal, state, and municipal levels, it has earned increased attention in the national spotlight.

For the first time, the Nevada caucuses implemented ranked choice voting (RCV) in its successful early voting process—prompting Vox to label RCV a “winner” of the caucuses.

With over 70,000 early votes cast, the 2020 Nevada caucus looks set to dwarf 2016 (84,000 participants) and even 2008 (118,000 participants) in size—a major win for democracy. This is, in part, because of the use of RCV in early voting.

With a still-crowded field in the Democratic presidential nominating contest, the most informative polls are those which ask respondents for more than just their first choice. 

In “Making Sense of the Iowa Debacle,” Michael Brendan Dougherty writes for the conservative-leaning National Review that instant-runoff voting (also known as ranked choice voting) emerged from the Iowa caucuses as a process-winner.
