About us
RepresentWomen advocates for rules & systems reforms to advance women’s representation and leadership in elected and appointed office in the United States. These institutional reforms -- used in the 78 nations that rank above the US in women’s representation and in a growing number of jurisdictions in the US -- will elect more women to office faster and are an essential component of collaborative efforts to win parity.

Our research finds that #RankedChoiceVoting 1️⃣ Eliminates vote splitting and spoilers so more women run 2️⃣ Encourages positive campaigning 3️⃣ Rewards issue-focused campaigns 4️⃣ Makes elections more affordable 5️⃣ Ensures representative outcomes It's time to adopt the widespread use of #RCV so that our government accurately represents our population!
Today, Representatives Jamie Raskin and Don Beyer, and Senator Peter Welch introduced the #RankedChoiceVoting Act in Congress. This landmark legislation would institute RCV for all primary and general elections for the U.S. House & Senate. Contact your members of Congress about the RCV Act! https://p2a.co/fdx3C8X
