The following message will be sent to alderperson [Alderperson]
Dear Ald. [Last Name],
My name is [Name], and I am your constituent in Ward [x] at [address]. I am emailing to express my support for the use of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in Annapolis City Elections. RCV allows voters to express our true preferences, without worrying that our vote will be wasted. RCV is used across the country by 13 million voters in 50 jurisdictions, including in Maine, Alaska, and Takoma Park, MD. Other jurisdictions like Washington D.C. are poised to adopt RCV as well.
In large primaries with multiple candidates, Ranked Choice voting helps to ensure a consensus candidate is nominated with over 50% support. In general elections, RCV encourages more candidates to run for office, eliminates the “spoiler” problem, and focuses elections on popular issues. Because candidates are incentivized to earn a higher rank on all ballots, they will speak to a broader coalition of constituents. RCV will help us move past the toxic campaign rhetoric, and improve voter engagement and turnout.
Thank you so much for your consideration!
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
