The #RankedChoiceVoting Act would bring #RCV to Congressional elections! Last month, Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and Congressman Don Beyer (VA-08) renewed their efforts to bring ranked choice voting to U.S. congressional elections, reintroducing their Ranked Choice Voting Act. Office of U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) introduced companion legislation in the Senate. The #RCVAct would: ✅ Require the use of RCV for all U.S. Congressional primary and general elections starting in 2028 ✅ Eliminate the use of runoff elections in the 10 states that currently use them for U.S. Congressional elections ✅ Make payments to states for the implementation of RCV such as updating voting machines and software Take action to support the #RCVAct 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQg9uFJ4
