"The City Council races were marked by collaborative campaigning and less negative messaging between the frontrunners. As expected in an RCV race, candidates recognized they would benefit from a coalitional style of campaigning – finding areas of compromise with rival candidates, and asking for second-choice support from their rivals’ supporters."

Thank you FairVote for covering the RCV November election in Portland. We believe collaborative campaigning we lead to a more collaborative government and better results for Portlanders! 🎉

Ranked choice voting is already proving its ability to provide better representation and promote effective governance in Portland.
