The Issue

It's time for Georgians to have more options and not have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Our current 'winner-takes-all' voting system often leaves voters feeling disenfranchised and disillusioned, as they are forced to choose between two major party candidates that may not fully represent their values or beliefs. This concern resonates with many Georgians who wish for a more dynamic and inclusive electoral process.

Rank choice voting is a system where voters can rank candidates in order of preference rather than choosing just one. This means your vote is more likely to count, even if your first choice doesn't win. It empowers voters to express their true preferences without fear of wasting their vote, promoting broad support for candidates and policies.

In places where rank choice voting has been implemented, such as Maine and certain cities in California, the benefits are clear. It leads to campaigns that are less negative and more focused on issues, as candidates seek to become a favored choice for a broader spectrum of voters. This system encourages diversity in political representation and reduces polarization and divisiveness.

Furthermore, rank choice voting can save time and money by potentially eliminating the need for costly runoff elections, a familiar occurrence in Georgia. Runoffs, which often experience lower voter turnout, are less reflective of the will of the people.

By adopting rank choice voting at the local, state, and federal levels of government; Georgia can become a leader in electoral reform, paving the way for better governance and more representative democracy. This change will align with the desires of voters who seek more than just a binary choice at the polls.

Join us in this movement to bring rank choice voting to Georgia and help create a more vibrant and inclusive political landscape. Sign this petition to urge our state legislators to make this crucial reform a reality for all Georgians.
