Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) tends to produce more representative outcomes than single-choice voting!

RCV removes elements that are traditionally obstacles resulting in more diverse fields of candidates running for office.
More women and #BIPOC candidates are running for office than ever before.

Reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting allow candidates to throw their hat in the ring without splitting the vote or being told to “wait their turn.”
