🎉🎉🎉The Virginia General Assembly chooses RCV!
A very special thank you to @DelegateCallsen and @ScVanValkenburg for your leadership on this issue. And to @UpVoteVA for your tireless efforts to give Virginians more choice.

This will make it easier for localities to adopt #RCV in towns (not just cities and counties) and it would make the RCV option permanent!

Former Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg on why we need election reforms like ranked choice voting, multi-member districts, or open primaries:
“If our social, economic, and political systems were healthy… I don't think we'd be here in the first place.” #RankedChoiceVoting

88% of Americans say politics is broken. And as former Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg told @reason, it's been that way for years. He shares why we can’t "just go back to the way things were," and how reforms like ranked choice voting can make our democracy work for all.

Virginia chooses RCV!
Congratulations to @UpVoteVA for their work on this important legislation to bring more voter choice to the Commonwealth. After all, the data doesn’t lie: voters who use RCV love it and want to keep it. RCV is here to stay.

#rankedchoicevoting has now passed the House of Delegates and the State Senate! This bill would eliminate the current "sunset date" on the existing RCV local option and extend that local option to towns.

"“This is especially useful in localities where lots of people run for office and candidates can win with less than a majority,” said Liz White, executive director of UpVote VA, which is championing the ranked-choice voting bills."

Congratulations to the Virginia House of Delegates for its bipartisan vote to expand the use of ranked choice voting and make it a permanent option for localities!
Once voters experience voting as ranking, they like it and want to keep it. Virginia is no exception.
