Illinois legislature’s Ranked-Choice and Voting Systems Task Force is expected to issue the report they’ve been working on since January 2024, one that we anticipate will encourage a form of RCV be adopted in Illinois. Lively debate will ensue.
Greater emphasis on moderate candidates and majority viewpoints
Election reforms like ranked choice voting put greater emphasis on moderate candidates and majority viewpoints.
We eagerly await the legislative task force’s report, to find out whether it will call for the creation of a statewide election authority, or merely promote allowing each of the 108 election authorities to implement RCV on their own. We prefer the former, but either way, it’s a start.
