What is Ranked Choice Voting?
RCV elections are just like a standard "first-past-the-post" election, except you can have backup choices. If your top pick gets the fewest votes, they are eliminated and your vote is transferred to your next choice.

Future Development
RCVis is free, open-source, and nonpartisan. These are our top projects. If you'd like to help fund the development of RCVis, or volunteer your time as a developer, please get in touch: [email protected].
- Accessibility: RCVis is not screenreader-friendly, though we have an undocumented audio captions for each visualization. We'd like to make these audio captions widely available, as well as making all RCVis visualizations screenreader-friendly.
- ES&S Data: We'd like to be able to upload and visualize data from Election Systems & Software voting machines.
- Election Pages: In addition to hosting visualizations, we'd like to host a list of visualizations, so a jurisdiction can point to a list of all available visualizations for a given election. This has historically been burdensome to smaller, less-resourced municipalities.
- Live Updates: While the API allows you to update an existing visualization, there is no UI for this. Being able to update existing visualizations with newer data would allow the same URL to update as election data rolls in.
- Infrastructure Updates: We'd like to use enable autoscaling to better support the influx of users and uploads on election night, as well as other infrastructure updates for stability and speed.
