“Frankly, at stake is the very integrity of our political system. We are facing a number of high-stakes problems that demand real leadership and accountability.

Ranked Choice Voting will accomplish this.”

“Second, our election outcomes should accurately reflect which candidate has the most support among voters. Ranked choice voting allows voters to indicate their first and second (or more) choices in an election. They can “vote their conscience” while knowing their choices will count and that the process will ensure that a majority of the voters prefer the winner. This system better reflects the will of the people in races with more than two candidates and is cost effective.”

“If there was ever an election cycle that demonstrated the need for ranked choice voting, this is it.

"I support Ranked Choice Voting because it gives Mainers a stronger voice in choosing their elected leaders and it ensures that voters get what they want on Election Day. By giving voters the power to rank candidates, Ranked Choice Voting encourages candidates to reach beyond their bases and appeal more broadly for support, thus making politicians more accountable to Mainers and less accountable to powerful political interests."
