Democracy advocates, there's a lot to talk about for Chicago, Naperville, and the State of Illinois. Join us on August 20 from 7-8pm on Zoom to discuss our ongoing campaigns to upgrade elections in Illinois to ranked choice voting! RSVP here: https://www.fairvoteillinois.org/statewide_meeting_20250820

Illinoisans come from the world over. Democracy requires coalition-building and finding consensus. #RankedChoiceVoting is the fastest-growing upgrade to our elections to give voters more power and choice.

Samrah and Kevin have been regular volunteers in DuPage County for the last couple years, and they're continuing to diligently gather petitions for Naperville this summer before heading off to college. We're inspired by how much they're already contributing to positive change in the world!

The fix for the TX redistricting bullshit is FFV #RankedChoiceVoting everywhere. Don't try to do the same thing for Democrats in another state. Instead tell everybody that any party trying to lock in more districts for their side is anti democratic and against the will of our Founders who built a system to avoid the need for political parties.

Fulfill their promise. No primaries. End the duopoly.

Ranked choice voting is a simple upgrade to the way we vote that gives voters more choices at the ballot box. Did you know that 5 Illinois municipalities have adopted RCV referenda? We're working on getting more! Learn more about us at http://FairVoteIllinois.org!

We are FairVote Illinois, an organization that solely focuses on getting RCV in Illinois. That's because we believe that RCV is a key reform for the future of democracy.

How to actually win the #gerrymandering wars, cont. Pass the #FairRepresentationAct for the US House. Instead of partisan redistricting, the Fair Representation Act would require house members to be elected by #RankedChoiceVoting in multi-member districts. That will make gerrymandering impossible, make every election competitive and make the House much more socially and politically diverse. We can do the same in the #California legislature! #ProportionalRepresentation

FairVote on Bluesky. (US FairVote is not on fedi, sadly.)

Contact your representative and ask them to support the FRA.

The Fair Representation Act has been reintroduced in Congress by @RepDonBeyer. It would stop #gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and implement #RankedChoiceVoting in U.S. House & Senate elections.

Also, ask your member of congress to support the bill: https://fairvoteaction.quorum.us/campaign/FairRepAct2025/

"We can have representative elections, if you can fight for it." - Winter Hurst-Leadicker, in their winning submission for the 2025 Paul Simon Democracy Prize, which is awarded by the Paul Simon Institute at Southern Illinois University.

The winning submission proposed a referendum in Macomb, IL asking voters to approve a ranked choice voting system for the city’s municipal elections. We're happy to see such pro-democracy leadership in Illinois!

#RankedChoiceVoting is back on the table in Congress. Tell your Rep to support it!

(Yeah, it won't pass with the GOP in power, because it's actually good for the country. But we can and should continue to make noise so it can pass eventually.)

Just came across this adorable video that clearly explains how the new multi-winner #RankedChoiceVoting system works in #Portland, Oregon.

Perhaps Elon's 3rd party will break #MAGA and drive more support for #RankedChoiceVoting.

The problem with political parties and primaries:

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” — James Madison, Federalist 47, 1788

We need FFV #RankedChoiceVoting everywhere.
