GeorgiaProtect Ranked Choice Voting
Campaign Status: Victory!
Outcome
Congrats to our partners Eternal Vigilance and Better Ballot Georgia for leading the effort to prevent a ban on Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in the state, and to the many RepresentUs volunteers in Georgia who mobilized an effort to contact their legislators to voice their support for RCV. The bill was passed in the Georgia Senate, but thanks to partner coordination and grassroots opposition, the bill did not pass the Georgia House.
The Policy
Defeat SB 355, a bill that would ban the use of Ranked Choice Voting in the state of Georgia.
Background
Who’s Involved?
RepresentUs is working with Eternal Vigilance and Better Ballot Georgia to engage as many RCV supporters as possible to protect Ranked Choice Voting in Georgia.
