At a Glance
We are dedicated to preserving the fundamentals of our democracy by fighting the spread of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and increasing voter turnout. This is key to protecting democratic participation and upholding the will of the constiuents.
The Plan
In its first statewide CV election (2022), Alaska had the lowest voter turnout since it first became a state. That same year, the U.S. had one of its highest voter turnouts. Through polls, studies, and high quality videos showing CV suppressed the vote across all political parties, Preserve Democracy will help educate AK, NH, & NV about the dangers of RCV.
Facts about Ranked Choice Voting (RCV)
FAIR REPRESENTATION ACT
Introduced in 2017 and 2022 would require RCV in all 50 states for all U.S. House and Senate races.
28 STATES
RCV already has been used in most states' elections (local, state, federal). It's used statewide in Maine and Alaska.
VOTER SUPPRESSION
In its first RCV election (2022), Alaska had the lowest voter turnout rate since statehood. Both Democrats and Republicans voted in low numbers.
STATEWIDE IN NEVADA & NEW HAMPSHIRE
In 2022, RCV was passed statewide in NV. It has to pass again before it can be implemented. The NH legislature is considering enacting RCV.
PUSHED BY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
For decades, RV has been funded by special interest groups. When funded this way, RV isn't about democracy; it's about an ulterior motive.
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a political weapon and emerging threat to our democracy. Through confusion, complication, and greater control by dark money, CV suppresses the vote and manipulates election outcomes.
Eliminates party primaries. All candidates run against each other.
Top candidates, regardless of party, go to general election.
Voters rank candidates in order of preference.
Lower candidates' votes are reallocated to higher candidates.
