By Eric Sundberg • Updated

This is a fictional city modeled after Richmond, Virginia—with similar neighborhoods, demographics, and everyday struggles. All together, [total population] people live here. The city's population is [white %] White, [black %] Black, and [multiracial %] Multiracial residents. The average resident is [avg age] years old.

This map shows what elections could look like with ranked-choice voting. It lets voters rank candidates instead of picking just one—so elections better reflect what people actually want.

But it doesn’t stop there. Proportional ranked-choice voting takes it further, making sure both majority-minority neighborhoods and political minorities get a real seat at the table. It leads to more balanced, more inclusive, and more accountable results.
