What would need to change for US citizens to have more than two choices at election.

Question

I know we technically have more than two choices, but what would need to change for it to simply be 1) person A, 2) person B, or 3) throwaway vote.

And maybe there are multiple avenues?

Answer 1

Have any states switched to Rank Votes for Congress/Senate yet? Seems like proof of success at the state level would be the first step toward a national rollout.

EDIT: Just looked up a report on how this has gone for Australia – and seems to work well for them.

>The combined use of compulsory voting and compulsory ranking along with possibility of come-from-behind wins are believed to have a moderating effect on Australian politics (Reilly, 2016). Compulsory voting ensures more than just ideological die-hards turn out, and compulsory ranking means that preferences usually flow to two moderate major parties.
