GOOD NEWS: Yesterday, on May 28, the Philadelphia City Council passed a resolution in support of ranked choice voting (RCV). This is the direct result of the hard work of our local leaders, and statewide RCV team.
The resolution shows Philadelphia’s growing support for using Ranked Choice Voting locally, and calls on the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pass a law letting cities and counties use RCV in their local elections.
Pennsylvania law currently does not give cities and counties the authority to adopt RCV on their own, so action from the legislature is essential. The Council resolution sends a clear message to lawmakers in Harrisburg that Pennsylvania’s largest city wants this change.
This is a major step forward for election reform in Pennsylvania and building momentum for HB123, sponsored by State Rep. Chris Rabb.
We are going to keep organizing localities across the state to do the same, and simultaneously pressure the state legislature to pass HB123, and allow localities the freedom to decide if they wanna use RCV! JOIN US!
🔥We had several members from our Ranked Choice Voting team speak, including Rose who was quoted in an article by PhillyVoice stating that.
"When people rank candidates they don't feel forced to just go with one of the leading folks to avoid wasting their vote. It gives people more choice, it makes them feel more confident that they can really express their own values at the polls."
