Leading the way on ranked choice voting While RCV is not a panacea for all our democracy woes, it is a promising and simple change we can make to counter our divisive politics, make our elections more inclusive, and strengthen our democracy, and with this year's legislation, Minnesota can expand RCV and continue to lead the way.

Voters First Wisconsin - Common-sense People for Common-sense Politics Wisconsin voters for a clear, fair, non-partisan election process. Country over party. Democracy over Oligarchy

Great news! We have a bipartisan bill introduced in the Wisconsin legislature, and it already has many co-sponsors from both parties.

You have a job now:
1. Call your reps today. Ask them if they already support the bill, and that you want them to support it if they don’t, yet. If they already do, thank them 🙂
2. Spread the word. Talk about it with friends and family. If they’re excited to, have them repeat step 1!

“Dysfunction in Congress is incentivized by election rules that reward absolute fidelity to ideology because the party primary is the most important election...Final-Five Voting is a solution designed to improve the system and incentives for Congress to bring results and accountability back to Washington.”

Share with your friends, family, and lawmakers! Let’s bring RCV to Wisconsin and help bring and end to gridlock and divisiveness.

“Instead of candidates having to impress their party’s most intensely partisan supporters, all candidates for a U.S. Senate or House seat would compete in the same primary, with the top five vote-getters advancing to the general election. Voters would then rank those five in order — from their favorite down to their last choice — in the November election.”
