Ranked Choice Voting is a ballot counting method that results in selecting a true majority winner with a single ballot, giving the voter more choices while eliminating costly runoffs.
Ranked Choice Voting works by allowing the voter to rank his or her choices in order of preference. When the ballots are counted, each vote counts for the highest ranked candidate who can use it to win.
Ranked Choice Voting avoids the "spoiler" effect that prompts defensive voting, and leads to more choices on the ballot. RCV also saves time and money by accomplishing runoff elections with a single vote.
We couldn't resist making our very own YouTube song to promote the cause, and we know you won't be able to resist singing it everywhere that you go. It's catchy! So please enjoy this video for the new single by our very own "Ranked Choice Rockers"... Read More

Better Ballot Glendale is a citizen’s initiative seeking to place a charter amendment on Glendale’s September city election ballot which would prevent the kind of runoff election quagmire presently paralyzing the city governments of Mesa and Tempe, and influencing the city governments of Litchfield Park, and Buckeye among others.
