Statewide Ballot Initiative Strategy Planning

Statewide Ballot Initiative Strategy Planning
Help shape the future of Ranked Choice Voting in Ohio
📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
🕑 2:00 PM
📍 Hybrid Meeting — Hilliard Library (Columbus) + Zoom
The next chapter starts with you.
For six years, Rank The Vote Ohio supporters have been building a movement for a better democracy. We’ve grown from a small group of volunteers into a statewide community of nearly 30,000 supporters.
Now, we are preparing for the next phase of our work.
A successful statewide ballot initiative will require thoughtful strategy, strong partnerships, dedicated volunteers, and a clear plan. At this meeting, supporters will come together to help shape the goals, priorities, and strategies that will guide RTVO moving forward.
Your voice matters.
This is an opportunity to help answer important questions:
-
What will it take to build a statewide movement?
-
What goals should we set for the coming years?
-
How do we grow our supporters, volunteers, and coalition partners?
-
What steps will move us closer to making Ranked Choice Voting a reality in Ohio?
Whether you have been involved with RTVO for years or are just getting started, we want you at the table.
Join us as we build the path forward for Ranked Choice Voting in Ohio.

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.-- -

Sign to Support RCV
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!
