It’s no surprise that younger Americans consistently support #RankedChoiceVoting at high levels – a 2022 survey found that 68% of people ages 18-34 support RCV in federal elections. https://t.co/18bZGVzSRr

Legislation like the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct and #FairRepAct would help prevent states from denying a fair voice to marginalized communities of voters. https://t.co/8d8ZuMva9M

Could ranked choice voting could prevent "nightmare scenario" in Memphis mayoral election?

#RankedChoiceVoting helps ensure that candidates are elected with sweeping support instead of just 20 or 30 percent of the vote. https://t.co/XqVyg7OIqF

According to @RepRaskin and @RepDonBeyer, #RankedChoiceVoting could help prevent a government shutdown! https://t.co/1jCOF257kg

According to Mark Allen in this letter to @WiStateJournal, what voters need is a “revamped voting system utilizing instant runoff or #RankedChoiceVoting.” https://t.co/iOL51vfCds

Voters may have another choice on the ballot in 2024. With Ranked Choice Voting, we can eliminate fear, and people can feel great about voting their conscience. #RCV #RankedChoiceVoting @AndrewYang @Fwd_Party

This is why Ranked Choice Voting matters so much. New Yorkers and voters everywhere deserve more choices on the ballot. #RCV #RankedChoiceVoting @fairvote

“The party’s nominee for governor, Larry Sharpe, argued that the rules are so tough that only the entrenched and connected can earn the right to appear on a ballot in New York.”

From @RepresentWomen’s @CynthiaRTerrell in @MsMagazine: by eliminating vote-splitting, #RankedChoiceVoting has already contributed to the most diverse election in NYC’s history, and City Council is likely to have a huge increase in women’s representation. https://t.co/STfvjhYh1y

There are very real issues of voter suppression/disenfranchisement of communities of more color across the country including NYC. I join those who continue to raise them

Rank Choice Voting is NOT one of those issues. The software also worked as planned

@BOENYC was/is the issue

[Rob Richie @Rob_Richie]

Not too often you get to be featured on the CBS Morning show! @edokeefe does strong segment on ranked choice voting, through lens of today's New York City primary. https://t.co/9gbNQjfmto

[Rob Richie @Rob_Richie]

This mistake is embarassing & the Board should follow best practices in releasing CVRs' in real time. This would have been caught more quickly.

However, the fundamentals of this election are the same: Turnout rose sharply. Voters ranked in high numbers. Outcomes will be fairer.

[FairVote @fairvote]

Across the US & world, there are cities & countries that tabulate ranked choice voting elections in a matter of hours or days without incident. Australia & Ireland have used RCV for decades. The discrepancy in NY BOE’s results last night was caused by human error, not by RCV

[New York Daily News @NYDailyNews]

OPINION | Don’t blame ranked-choice voting for NYC’s screwup

RCV made this primary better. Exit polls:
95% said it was easy.
83%+ ranked 1+ candidate.
75%+ want to use it again.
Turnout also spiked.
