RAPID RESPONSE ALERT
TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT OHIO'S DEMOCRACY
Ranked Choice Voting is a system of voting that is growing in popularity across the country. The Legislature is trying to ban it in Ohio and punish local governments seeking to implement it in their local races. TAKE ACTION NOW TO STOP SENATE BILL 137!
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.
TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT OHIO'S DEMOCRACY
Thank you for your time. There is no action for you to take at this time as a non-Ohio resident. You can support LWV Ohio by making a donation.
You can make a bigger impact by calling your State Senator and Chair Rulli's office (614-466-8285) and telling him that you are opposed to Senate Bill 137.
Sample Script:
I'm opposed to Senate Bill 137 and I'm calling to ask the Senate to stop this bill from being put up for a vote. SB 137 is an attack on home rule, and Ranked Choice Voting should be given a chance to succeed if local governments make the choice to implement it for their local elections.
