Today, state Rep. Chris Rabb congratulated the Philadelphia City Council for passing a resolution in support of ranked choice voting.
On May 28, council passed a resolution that calls on the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to pass legislation allowing cities and counties to use ranked choice voting in local elections. Ranked choice elections would give voters the option to rank candidates in order of preference.
Restore honesty and integrity
“I applaud Philadelphia City Council for attempting to restore honesty and integrity back into the democratic process,” Rabb said. “With ranked choice, voters can make their voice heard based on who they want to choose, not who they think will win. Our current plurality voting system does not truly reflect the will of the people, as it prioritizes divisiveness over common priorities, and extremism over collaboration. I hope the council’s support for ranked choice is heard loud and clear in Harrisburg.”
