RAPID RESPONSE ALERT
TELL LAWMAKERS: DON'T OUTLAW RANKED CHOICE VOTING
Stop lawmakers from outlawing ranked choice voting: tell your Ohio House Representative to oppose House Bill 684 now!
Ranked Choice Voting is a system of voting that is growing in popularity across the country. But the Legislature is trying to ban Ranked Choice Voting in Ohio for federal, state, and local elections.
TAKE ACTION NOW TO STOP HOUSE BILL 684!
Ranked choice voting (RCV) is promising and deserves a chance to succeed.
- RCV allows people to mark preferences for multiple candidates, rather than just choosing one, which allows for a fuller expression of voter preferences.
- RCV forces candidates to appeal to a broader swath of voters rather than a narrow base, which in turn can increase voter turnout.
- RCV also promotes bipartisanship - something that is much desired by all Ohioans in a time of unprecedented political divide.

More about ranked choice voting:
RCV is an electoral system in which voters rank candidates by preference. If a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, he or she is declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated. First-preference votes cast for the failed candidate are eliminated, and second-preference choices on these ballots are then elevated to first-preference. Click here to learn more about RCV.
