We are really proud to support Measure 117! Measure 117 would enact ranked choice voting, which gives voters the option to rank candidates in order of preference: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Measure 117 is a proven, trusted system that has a track-record of success across the United States. Over 50 places across the country use ranked choice voting, representing 13 million voters, including in Oregon. Voters who use it overwhelmingly prefer it to the way we vote now. #DemocracyisFeminist #Oregon #Measure117 #ElectionsMatter
