Join the movement for voting reform! Add your name to the growing list of people who support bringing ranked choice voting to Illinois, and keep up with what we’re doing at FairVote Illinois.
In ranked choice voting, instead of choosing just one candidate, voters can rank their favorites in order of preference. To win, candidates need to win more than 50% of the votes. The candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated. If you voted for that candidate, your vote goes to your second choice automatically. The process repeats until a candidate wins a majority.
With ranked choice voting, voters are generally happy with the outcome, candidates run more positive campaigns, and more candidates of different backgrounds enter races.
