Where RCV is Used

Ranked Choice is a tested and accepted voting method now used in several jurisdictions across the United States - San Francisco (CA), Takoma Park (MD), Hendersonville (NC), Cambridge (MA), Aspen (CO) and Minneapolis (MN) - and is pending implementation in more than a dozen other cities, including Oakland, Berkeley and San Leandro, Califorina, in 2010 and St. Paul in 2011.

Strong voter education has resulted in high approval ratings in all of these jurisdictions and successful ballot measure campaigns are adding to the number of jurisdictions using Ranked Choice Voting every year.

Ranked Choice Voting is also used in democracies such as Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and London.

It is also used in hundreds of colleges and by several organizations, including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the Best Picture award.
