ArizonaDefend Ranked Choice Voting
Campaign Status: Active
The Policy
Oppose efforts to ban the use of Ranked Choice Voting in the state of Arizona and educate the public and legislators on the benefits of RCV
Background
In 2023, Arizona lawmakers introduced HCR 2033 which sought to ban any attempt to reform the primary or the nomination process. RepresentUs worked with in-state partners to build pressure to oppose this measure which resulted in the Governor’s successful veto of this ban attempt.
Despite this success, Arizona has a number of election deniers in positions of power who will continue to oppose Ranked Choice Voting and efforts that give more power to the voters.
Who’s Involved?
RepresentUs works with a number of partners in Arizona including Make It Fair AZ, Voter Choice AZ and Better Ballot AZ.
