City of manassas

In Manassas, the conversation about ranked choice voting (RCV) is just getting started! 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. Let’s make sure your City Council members know that Manassas voters want RCV!

Tell the City Council that RCV:

  • Rewards candidates with the broadest support.

  • Promotes candidates who build consensus, and diminishes negative campaigning.

  • Is very popular and easy-to-understand in cities and states that use it.

  • Has a proven track record of being beneficial to people of color and women seeking public office.
