Fredericksburg

Get involved locally!

Fredericksburg City Council has started conversations about whether they should implement ranked choice voting (RCV) for their future election. Using RCV for local elections rewards candidates who are able to build consensus and allows voters to more fully express their preferences.

Ranked choice voting is a better way to run local elections. Help us bring RCV to Fredericksburg!

To get involved in bringing RCV to FXBG, join our local action group (LAG) and sign the petition to let your elected officials know you support RCV.
