When the Academy adopted the single-winner form of #RankedChoiceVoting to select Best Picture winners in 2009, just five American cities used that better election system.

We’re looking forward to the 2025 Oscars next weekend. While we wait, check out this conversation we had with Tom Oyer on the positive impact RCV has had. https://lnkd.in/ezsxadrv
