History of Ranked Choice Voting in the United States

Interest in ranked choice voting (RCV) has grown exponentially, but this voting method is not new to the elections scene. Its history dates back to the mid-1800s. In this webinar hosted by the Ranked Choice Voting Resource Center, learn more about the evolution of RCV from Jack Santucci, a recent Georgetown University Ph.D. whose dissertation (and book project) explored the rise and fall of multi-winner RCV in 24 American cities, from 1915-62. Chris Hughes, FairVote's Staff Attorney, will also provide insight into RCV's history.
