VOTING

AKA

INSTANT RUNOFF VOTING

RCV IS SIMPLE, COMMONSENSE AND NONPARTISAN

Our current system of voting can leave people feeling unheard and contribute to division and political gridlock.

Ranked Choice Voting is a straightforward, practical, and non-partisan solution.

CONNECTICUT IS CLOSER THAN EVER TO RCV

Connecticut Voters First was founded on a simple principle: Connecticut voters deserve elections that produce majority-supported winners, provide greater voter choice, and strengthen confidence in our democratic process.

What began as a little-known election reform proposal has become a serious and increasingly viable legislative initiative supported by elected officials, municipal leaders, advocacy organizations, and thousands of Connecticut voters.

MOMENTUM IS BUILDING

– 2026 –
Governor Ned Lamont publicly endorsed Ranked Choice Voting as a statewide coalition, municipal, and grassroots support continued to grow.

– 2025 –
Ranked Choice Voting legislation advanced through both the Government Administration and Elections and Appropriations committees, building legislative momentum toward passage.

– 2024 –
Governor Lamont’s bipartisan Ranked Choice Voting Working Group overwhelmingly approved recommendations supporting implementation, establishing a clear path for reform in Connecticut.

LOOKING AHEAD

The question facing Connecticut today is how quickly we can join the growing number of states and municipalities that have successfully adopted Ranked Choice Voting, now a proven reform.

The momentum continues to build. Progress achieved over the past several years has created a clear pathway toward passage, and Connecticut Voters First is committed to turning that momentum into victory.

DEFENDING OUR DEMOCRACY
