“We like the fact that candidates were perhaps a little bit more civil to their opponents. When I knew that I needed to get Margaret’s second-place vote, I’m not going to trash-talk her in our debates or public encounters because I want to pick up some of that support too. So we saw a level of civility in many cases. In some cases, not so much. But I think what we demonstrated in Alaska was the possibility that electoral reform can happen and it can deliver outcomes that are less partisan and perhaps less politically rancorous.”

“Ranked choice voting offers us the ability to be energized, and to be that more inclusive, that more equitable and just society that we all want, and communities that I represent truly need.”

“In the face of threats that undercut the fundamental right to vote for millions of Americans, we must act to protect our democracy. The Voter Choice Act would help communities advance the vast majority of voters’ priorities by instituting ranked choice voting, like the system that Maine already uses for its primary and federal elections. In such a polarized political climate, this bill would force candidates to appeal to a broader swath of their electorate rather than a small, outspoken faction. We must continue working towards improving our great democracy and that begins with restoring faith in our electoral system.”

“This [delayed runoff] should be a call to move us to a ranked choice voting system where every Georgian can avail itself of an instant runoff system.”

"Instant runoff voting will lead to good government because voters will elect leaders who have the support of a majority. Elected leaders will be more likely to listen to all, and cities will be able to enjoy big tax savings and keep majority rule."

“Ranked Choice Voting is one of the ways to make sure people feel like their vote is being counted, feel like it really matters. It increases participation and gives us better trust in our democracy. I fully support it.”
