Federal Elections Reform: Mandatory Ranked Choice Voting for Congress.

This Act mandates the use of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for all elections for U.S. Senators and Representatives, starting in 2027. Citizens will rank candidates by preference, ensuring that winners achieve broader support and eliminating the need for separate runoff elections. States will receive federal funding to implement the necessary system changes and voter education programs.
Key points
Voters will rank candidates for Congress in order of preference (Ranked Choice Voting) instead of choosing only one candidate.
The new system eliminates separate runoff elections for federal offices, simplifying the election calendar.
States will receive federal payments ($4 to $8 per registered voter) to update voting equipment, software, and train election officials.
