There are growing calls for better elections where every voice is heard. Voters in the DMV area have seen too many elections with non-majority winners and split votes among similar candidates. It’s time for a better voting method. It’s time for ranked choice voting.
Ranked choice voting is a simple and proven voting method to give voters the freedom to express their preferences without fear of hurting their favorite candidate in the election. Join advocates across Maryland and urge your local and state leaders to take action to support better voting methods.
Why Ranked Choice Voting?
-Empower voters with the ability to better express their preferences, eliminate strategic voting and the ‘lesser of two evils” dilemma, and reduce toxic campaigning so voters and candidates can focus on the issues.
-Strengthen representation by giving elected leaders a stronger mandate and respecting the will of the people.
-The first step to better elections is to pass enabling legislation so local leaders can determine and select the best voting method.
