Mission

FairVote is a nonpartisan organization seeking better elections for all. We research and advance voting reforms that make democracy more functional and representative for every American.

About

Education about ranked choice voting and general democracy: FairVote is nationally recognized authority on a range of election topics, including being at or near the top of internet searches on topics such as voter turnout, primaries and redistricting. We provide elections services assistance to private organizations and businesses on a modest scale. Our website is updated regularly on these resources, and we received particularly notable attention during the 2018 year for projects like the following: - Our senior fellow David Daley continued to be a leading authority on gerrymandering, with frequent articles, media appearances and speeches to universities and civic groups. - We provided updated information on where primaries are closed, semi-closed and open on a page that is high in internet searches on this topic. - We regularly updated information on voter turnout and voter participation.
