Voatz: Ranked Choice Voting and Other Breakthrough Concepts for Better Elections, November 3rd 2021
For decades, the options to elect our representatives have changed very little. There is a desire to make democracy more fair and functional - but we have been resistant to change - in format and in function.
A recent development is the wider acceptance of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), which allows voters to rank their choices by preference. They can identify leaders who represent their interest not as a binary choice but on a scale, recognizing the nuances in political beliefs. As ranked-choice voting picks up interest across the nation, we look at ways to make the process seamless, intuitive, accessible to all, and transparent, leveraging the most advancements in technology that expand the possibilities on how we vote.
We welcome you to join this exciting conversation between representatives promoting RCV in their jurisdictions, ranked-choice voting advocates, and technologists.
