Ranked-Choice Voting

RANKED CHOICE VOTING (RCV)

RCV is a simple upgrade to the ballot which allows voters to rank multiple candidates in order of preference. This solves the "spoiler effect" and vote-splitting encourages positive issue-based campaigns and produces a winner that reflects the majority of the electorate. It is currently used statewide in Maine.
