Ranked Choice Voting is a simple change to the ballot that allows voters to rank their preferences on the ballot -- 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, etc. The rankings are used to conduct a virtual runoff to ensure elected officials earn broad majority support. It encourages more, and more diverse candidates to run for office, restores majority rule and gives voters more choice and more power at the ballot box.
I support expanding Ranked Choice Voting in Minnesota for local, state, and federal elections and the power of communities to decide for themselves if RCV is right for them. The Local Options bill, would provide communities with this opportunity.
