Learn What Rank Choice Voting Can Do
Rank Choice Voting is being brought to Michigan by Rank MI Vote.
America is more politically divided than ever — and too many voters feel unheard. It’s time for a solution that lowers the temperature, rewards collaboration, empowers voters, and truly reflects the will of the people.
That’s what Ranked Choice Voting does, and that’s what Rank MI Vote’s Bridge the Divide community action series is all about.


It’s time for a solution that lowers the temperature, rewards collaboration, empowers voters, and truly reflects the will of the people. That’s what Ranked Choice Voting does.
Rank MI Vote is a non-partisan, volunteer-led, grassroots organization dedicated to bringing Ranked Choice Voting to Michigan via a constitutional amendment on the November 2026 ballot. It is legally organized as a ballot question committee. It gives voters real choices and rewards candidates who build coalitions instead of pointing fingers, helping restore civility, fairness, and trust to our democracy.
How does Rank Choice Voting work?
Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference — favorite candidate #1, second-favorite #2, and so on.
If any candidate has a majority (over 50%) of first-choice votes, they win.
If no candidate reaches a majority, there is an instant run off – the candidate who received the least votes is eliminated and those votes count for their voters’ second choices.
Through instant computerized tabulation that can be verified on paper ballots, steps 2 and 3 repeat until one candidate reaches a majority.
At our meeting, you’ll:
✅ Learn about the problems with our current system and how Ranked Choice Voting fixes them
✅ Hear our plan to bring Ranked Choice Voting statewide through a 2026 Constitutional Amendment
✅ Discover how you can help bring hope and collaboration to Michigan
