More choices for voters should be a good thing. But in March, several crowded Illinois primaries saw candidates win with much less than 50% of the vote. It doesn't have to be this way. With ranked choice voting, voters get more choice AND majority winners. @fairvoteil.bsky.social

Illinois, what would your primary ballot look like with #RankedChoiceVoting? With ten candidates running in the Democratic Primary, the winner will likely not receive a 50% majority. In fact, the nominee could win with 30% of the vote or less.

Sample ballots from the democratic US Senate primary for Illinois, with a single-choice ballot on the left, and a ranked choice ballot on the right that allows voters to rank their choices in order of preference.
