FairVote Washington joins San Juan County advocates to launch a campaign for ranked-choice
voting
||| FROM SHARON ABREU for FAIRVOTE |||
San Juan County voters have an opportunity to win more voice, more choice, and more say this November, by voting “yes” on this year’s ranked-choice voting charter amendment. FairVote Washington is excited to support our volunteers and advocates on the ground as they inform voters about how ranked-choice voting can improve local elections.
Join us for the “Campaign Kickoff” where State Representative Alex Ramel and State Senator Liz Lovelett will share why they believe ranked-choice voting is a timely upgrade to our elections.
- RSVP
- When: May 26 @ 7 p.m.
- Where: Zoom
The event is free and open to the public.
Ranked-choice voting is a simple-to-use, nonpartisan reform that gives voters more voice, more choice, and more say in elections. It is used by nearly 50 jurisdictions across the country and it creates more issue-based campaigns that better serve the voters.
FairVote Washington is a non-partisan, non-profit champion of electoral reforms that give voters greater choice, a stronger voice, and a more civil, representative democracy that works for all Americans. We are a Washington State 501(c)(4) organization.

I was wondering what ever happened to Ranked Choice Votiing, and why it’s not on the ballot yet. Any ideas when? Seems like there was a lot of talk about it, then… covid. I’m so excited to read that we will have a vote on this in November!
