Implementation of RCV will require some upfront investment, but the cost of operating elections should not be significantly affected. By preventing the need for run-off elections, Ranked Choice Voting in the long run has the potential to save millions in Florida tax-payer dollars.

Rank Choice Voting (RCV) will not create an unfair advantage or disadvantage for any particular party. RCV is supported by members from every political party.

RCV aims to change campaign behaviors, as it requires candidates to receive majority support. So the candidate who learns to appeal to the broadest range of people will receive greater support.

Under RCV candidates must get enough first votes to stay in the race, therefore candidates must appeal deeply to constituents AND broadly.

We believe RCV is the best alternative to our current system for a variety of reasons. 

1. Complies with the majority criterion principle. Simply put if a candidate wins a majority (>50%) of first votes they should win the election. 

2. Complies with the Later-no Harm principle. This means under RCV, voting for more candidates won't harm the chances of winning for your more-preferred candidate. This removes the possibility of tactical voting that complicates the process for the voter. In fact, RCV is even less complicated, because you don't have to decide who the most viable candidate is that you can vote for.

3. Elects the Condorcet winner in almost every election. This means the candidate would win if they faced off head to head with each candidate individually. 

4. Easily adopted in both single-winner and multi-winner elections.

5. Easy to understand, not extremely costly to implement, would revamp our democracy, and has the most momentum behind it currently.
