Building a democracy for all of us.

Washington for Equitable Representation is a statewide, multi-racial coalition fighting for proportional ranked-choice voting and other democracy reforms.

How to make elections work - for everyone

Part 1: Why our elections aren’t working for most of us

Part 2: Better elections are possible. Here’s how.

Voting is the civil rights issue of our time.

With democracy under attack across the country, Washington has an opportunity to model a better way.

Proportional ranked-choice voting creates better representation for communities of color.

It increases voter turnout, helps candidates of color to run and win, and keeps elected officials accountable to everyone - not just their base.

We’re mobilizing for proportional ranked-choice voting in Washington State.

 

OUR GOALS ARE:

  • To support local efforts to pass proportional ranked-choice voting (PRCV) in city, county, and other elections

  • To champion the passage of state legislation that would advance PRCV in Washington

  • To build a sustainable, coalition-driven statewide infrastructure that puts communities of color in leadership to reform our democratic systems

  • To educate our communities and other organizations about PRCV
