More choices for voters should be a good thing.

But in March, several crowded Illinois primaries saw candidates win with much less than 50% of the vote.

It doesn't have to be this way.

With ranked choice voting, voters get more choice AND majority winners. @fairvoteil.bsky.social

Everyone, including elected representatives, is frustrated with toxic politics, extreme polarization, and gridlock. We desperately need systemic reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting to create a more constructive and meaningful democracy.

Side-by-side comparison of what Illinois's ten-candidate 2026 primary ballot would look like with and without ranked choice voting. On one side, voters can only pick one candidate from a list of ten. On the other side, they can rank up to 4 choices in order of preference.

Did you know?: FairVote Illinois is advocating for ranked choice voting in Illinois? SB2004 is currently in the State Senate, which would allow Illinois municipalities (including Chicago) to adopt RCV if they choose to do so via referendum.

SB2004 is a bill that has been introduced that would provide for the smooth implementation of RCV for local municipalities. It would be a big step towards using RCV for larger elections. Go to tinyURL.com/RCV4Illinois to contact your Senator!

Already used in over 50 jurisdictions nationwide, RCV would allow voters to rank their candidates. It would unite political parties and ensure majority-supported nominees in primaries.
