Overview
FairVote is the nation’s leading nonpartisan nonprofit organization focused on electoral reforms designed to give voters more voice, greater choice, and fairer representation. It uses its unique networks, analysis, strategic insight, and research as a catalyst for change at the local, state, and federal levels. A sparkplug for several popular reforms, FairVote is the leading proponent of ranked choice voting. Maine’s adoption of ranked choice voting for state and congressional elections has drawn national interest to this type of voting as a means to enhance other reforms and encourage more collaborative governance and civil elections. FairVote will expand its partnerships to advance ranked choice voting, provide allies with better tools to debate and implement it, drive the conversation about how it can improve democracy for all voters, and strengthen its organizational capacity.
