ABOUT THE PROPOSAL
Voter Choice is a grassroots ballot campaign to put power back in voters' hands through a system of ranked choice voting (aka Instant Runoff Voting, IRV). It allows voters to rank their choices rather than choosing just one candidate - and it automatically reassigns your vote to your 2nd choice if your 1st choice doesn't win.* This ensures that no one is “throwing away their vote” by voting for the candidate they really believe in - regardless of the polls. It eliminates the problem of “spoilers” taking votes from other candidates, and gives voters the freedom to vote their values. Voter Choice would establish ranked choice voting (IRV) as the voting method for Massachusetts elections for state offices (e.g. Governor), legislative offices, and Congressional offices. The end result would be more voices and real choices in elections, and that would bring missing solutions back into the debate and onto the political agenda.

*This is the end result of a series of “instant” runoff elections (IRV) that automatically transfer the votes of the last-place finishers in each round of counting to their second- or third- choice candidate.
