Wowza! So many notable folks adding their voice to the chorus of support for #RankedChoiceVoting as the antidote to split votes & plurality winners! I’ll add this incredible stat that women hold 52% of seats on city councils elected with #RCV — that’s almost twice the norm!

A historic first: No state received an "F" on the #2024GenderParityIndex. Louisiana led the charge out of the bottom ranks, earning its first-ever "D" grade after eight consecutive years at the bottom. The state climbed to 45th place, a nearly six-point improvement from 2023.

Maine continues to shine as a model state for gender parity, receiving an “A” since 2018 and coming in 2nd place! The state’s commitment to ranked-choice voting and the election of its first woman governor, Janet Mills, have paved the way for progress.
