Ranked Choice Voting Statement
Letter to Arlington County Board - February 22, 2025
How we elect County Board leaders is a critical issue for voter engagement. While ranked choice voting
has been praised for many reasons, the fact remains that it deviates significantly from the traditional
system that community members are used to. Making such an important change to our County’s voting
system should not be done without a high degree of public confidence and support.
In times of tragedy, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of community
