Ranked Choice Voting Resource Center

The rcv education program works to improve the chances of rcv adoption by providing expert testimony, analysis, and legal review for at least jurisdictions interested in adopting rcv. Because the organization is comprised of former Election administrators with rcv experience, we have provided a unique perspective to policymakers. Advocates address the "why" question, while the organization is better positioned to answer the "how" question. Conveying to policymakers how rcv can be implemented and administered is key to the adoption of rcv and has been pivotal in the passage of legislation.

The rcv universal tabulator (rctab) program seeks to expand rctab testing, development, and adoption. The expansion includes improving file conversion and ease of use with further development of aggregation and tabulation of results when state or jurisdictions uses multiple Voting systems. Milestones include meeting certification standards for 20 states requiring testing to federal standards and for 26 states requiring testing by an Election assistance commission (eac) approved testing lab. Rctab can also be used as an auditing tool to verify rcv results as a consultant/partner with jurisdiction or vendor. Staff also plans to engage with states and jurisdictions to show the benefit of rctab.
