ELECTION PLANNING

PLANNING

The resources in the Pre-Election section are geared towards helping election administrators, candidates, the media, and voters understand and prepare for a ranked choice voting election. We focus on four main components of preparation: drafting statutes and resolutions; identifying and procuring election and tabulation systems; designing a clear and accessible ranked choice voting ballot; and developing plans for outreach and education/training.

BUDGETING

Running elections can be expensive, and ensuring all costs of an election are accounted for requires broad knowledge and understanding of the tasks of an election official.

VOTING EQUIPMENT

Election systems vendors have varying levels of RCV capability integrated in to their systems. Most of the major vendors (Election Systems and Software, Dominion, and Hart InterCivic) have systems used in at least one US jurisdiction using RCV.

SAMPLE RFPS/RFIS

A request for proposal, or RFP, specifies the needs of a jurisdiction that a voting system manufacturer will have to meet to be considered for a bid.
