Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.

RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. If your first choice doesn’t have a chance to win, your ballot counts for your next choice.

RCV works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. RCV means better choices, better campaigns, and better representation.

I like that. I'm still going to support any improvement to the system, though, even if it's not my preferred solution. Even, if we just got ranked-choice voting, we'd still have more influence on further improvements to the system, like moving to STV.
