The following table summarizes voting equipment used in ranked choice hotspots. Included are current and potential implementations. A link takes you to the respective jurisdiction's board of elections.

Before your community purchases equipment, take the steps necessary to make it ranked choice-compatible.

If the machine will not be compatible on arrival, mandate in the initial contract that the vendor will retrofit your machines to support IRV/choice voting at no or a limited, specified added cost. This will give you the tools needed to move from political passage to technical implementation, as you may need legal recourse.

Note also that, at least for municipal- and state-level elections, there are creative ways to get around incompatible voting equipment. See Burlington, VT and San Francisco, CA for examples.
