Folks, as you may have heard, party leaders within the Democratic National Committee are considering a major change: using Ranked‑Choice Voting (RCV) in the 2028 Democratic presidential primaries.
RCV would allow voters to rank their preferred candidates in order (first choice, second choice, and so on), rather than selecting just one. Advocates argue this would:
- Strengthen and unite the party by reducing the impact of vote-splitting when there are many candidates.
- Give a fair shot to fresh faces, grassroots candidates, and positive-campaigning contenders — especially those outside the establishment.
- Prevent votes from being “wasted” if a first-choice candidate drops out, by having backup choices already ranked.
That said — the idea has sharply divided opinion within the DNC. Some welcome the change, others worry it could complicate primary administration.
Your feedback will be shared with key decision-makers as they weigh the implications of this proposal.
Thank you for making your voice heard.
In solidarity,
Forward Blue
