Alaska, Maine, and Hawaii use #RCV in at least some statewide or federal #elections. Jurisdictions in 13 other states either use or are scheduled to begin using RCV in municipal elections. Five states—Florida, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, and Tennessee—prohibit RCV.

From 1965 through 2023, there were six statewide RCV ballot measures in four states. Voters approved four (66.7%) and rejected two (33.3%). There were 67 local measures on whether to adopt RCV. Voters approved 52 (77.61%) and rejected 15 (22.39%) of these measures. Meanwhile, there were seven local ballot measures to repeal RCV. Voters approved four (57.14%) and rejected three (42.86%) of these measures.

State lawmakers have introduced four RCV-related bills in 2024, according to our election legislation database. Throughout 2023 and 2022, that number was 116 and 44, respectively.

Two states thus far—Nevada and Oregon—will be voting to implement RCV in 2024.

If you want to learn more about RCV, Ballotpedia recently unveiled a new RCV Info Hub, a resource to address the lack of neutral resources to help voters understand what RCV is, how it’s used, its history, and why people support or oppose its use. https://ballotpedia.org/Ranked-choice_voting_(RCV)?_wcsid=E155E2B79C4330D43809C5BBDF4F53C064C7AB5DED7F4777
