As the number of states banning ranked-choice voting is increasing, some will have initiatives on their November ballots that would implement the voting system.
Ten states have already banned RCV but more may could if residents vote in favor of such measures to make the switch.
Meanwhile, six states will have ballot measures to switch their elections to RCV.
RCV is an election process whereby if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, then a runoff system is triggered. When voters cast their ballots, they rank each candidate in order of first-to-last. RCV is being introduced in states across the country, but is facing pushback from both sides of the political aisle, including efforts to ban it.
