Youth Ambassador Program
The Youth Ambassador Program is an engagement initiative for high schoolers who want to bring Ranked Choice Voting to their communities. The pilot cohort is open just to high school students in the broader Cincinnati area and will take place during April and May 2025. Please register by March 28th.
The commitment period is divided in two segments: Training and Project Development.
The training period will consist of virtual speaker and pitch training to inform ambassadors about Ranked Choice Voting and how to promote it. Ambassadors' contact information will also be provided to local organizers for general volunteering experience.
During the project development period, participants will create a project or organize an event intended to promote Ranked Choice Voting. Ambassadors will record their processes and outcomes.
Participants can expect this to be a 1-2 hour weekly commitment and times may be flexible in accordance with participant availability.
We’re looking for:
- 10th-12th graders in the Cincinnati area
- Students who are passionate about bringing positive change to their community
- Knowledge of Ranked Choice Voting is not necessary but a general familiarity would be helpful
Participants will obtain from this program:
- Service Hours
- Leadership experience through the student-led project initiative
- A greater understanding of electoral processes
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Sign to Oppose SB 63 and Protect Home Rule for Ohio Communities
Add signatureRegardless of how we feel about Ranked Choice Voting, we are opposed to SB 63 violating Local Home Rule. Ohio's charter cities have a constitutional right to decide for themselves if RCV or other election methods are more appropriate for our communities than pick-one, plurality-wins elections. Big government should not unfairly punish communities if we choose to achieve majority rule through Instant Runoffs with RCV. Please sign below to protect Ohio communities' right to Home Rule. If you'd like us to continue to update you on the bill, please do not uncheck your email below.--(By providing your phone number you consent to receiving texts from Rank The Vote Ohio with the ability to opt out.

I support Instant Runoffs with Ranked Choice Ballots in Ohio!
Add signatureInstant Runoffs with Ranked Choice Voting simply require a majority to win, while giving all voters more choice and more voice so that you can vote for your true favorite without feeling like your vote is wasted. When you have backup choices, more parties and candidates can run because you don't have to worry about "spoilers" and you can have more confidence that your vote will actually matter. Political toxicity decreases when candidates have to focus on problem-solving and finding common ground to win a majority instead of simply attacking the "other side" as the greater evil. So you can vote your hopes, not your fears!
Our team is working with allies on potential ballot language, but in the meantime we need to build our list to show the political class that Ohioans want Ranked Choice Voting in Ohio. Please sign here and spread awareness by inviting your friends!

Ranked Choice Voting is for Everyone
I am for Rank the Vote Ohio because a politician should have to represent more than just the low percentage of the people who voted for them in the primary!
