"Research shows that RCV improves representation for women and people of color, both on the ballot and in elected office. RCV can be used to eliminate primary and runoff elections, both of which draw lower and less representative turnout. It is more welcoming to candidates, allowing all to participate on a level playing field without fear of being deemed “spoilers.” It also incentivizes inclusive campaigns because candidates are rewarded for seeking backup support among voters outside their base."
