Ranked Choice Voting Is the Most Efficient and Accurate Way to Understand the Voice of the People

 

Ranked choice voting’s ability to both make election cycles more efficient and level the playing field for all candidates and parties makes it popular across the political spectrum - both as a general reform and as a useful tool to solve specific problems.

Below, you can learn more about just a few of the reasons ranked choice voting makes sense for Utah cities and counties.


Fair

Makes sure everyone's voices are included in the final round by allowing them to rank choices, thus ensuring a true majority winner.


Eliminates the "Spoiler Effect"

Potential candidates don't have to worry about “spoiling” an election by taking a percentage of the final vote.


Civil Campaigns

Candidates are more likely to run civil campaigns when second and third choice votes are at stake.


Reduced Costs

By eliminating the need for a separate runoff election, ranked choice voting saves time, money, and energy.
