FairVote  is dedicated to fair elections where every vote counts and all voters are represented. As a catalyst for reform, we conduct research, analysis, education and advocacy to build understanding of and support for more democratic voting systems. We promote full representation as an alternative to winner-take-all elections and instant runoff voting as an alternative to plurality elections and traditional runoff elections.

FairVote is a nonprofit organization that relies on charitable contributions from the public.

Support FairVote: We depend on charitable contributions from the public. You can donate online or send a contribution in the mail. Learn how to get involved or contact us at [email protected].  Thank you!
