Kristen Beireis, Voter Advocacy Liaison

I hear so many people say they don't like their choices at the ballot box because no one truly represents them. Ranked Choice Voting would bring us more representative candidates and elected officials.  It will attract a more diverse candidate pool with more diverse ideas.  I truly believe this is what we need in Ohio.  Too many people are just not happy with their options for us to ignore it any longer.

    Volunteer Strategy Forum

    We're inviting every Ohioan who supports Ranked Choice Voting to participate in a day-long forum to brainstorm ideas to make Rank the Vote Ohio more authentically grassroots-driven. What would motivate you to volunteer? What types of actions do you want to help lead? A professional facilitator will guide us through a democratic process as we set goals at the local, regional, and statewide levels and propose ideas to achieve them. We'll provide catered meals and snacks for all who join. Doors open at 10, convening is 11-4.

    Regardless 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 RCVPlease 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.

    I support Instant Runoffs with Ranked Choice Ballots in Ohio!

    3,213 signatures

    Instant 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!
