Portland, Oregon tried Proportional Ranked Choice Voting for the first time in 2024 — and even the conservative American Enterprise Institute says it's working. Their new system produced a more racially representative city council, gave voters more meaningful choices on their ballots, and brought more people to the polls. This is exactly what VC Vote is working to bring to Ventura County.

But just because we aren’t using RCV yet in our official elections doesn’t mean you can’t vote in our mock-election using RCV. The top 8 political candidates (according to most recent polls) have been placed into our RCV ballot below. Feel free to sort the candidates in order of preference and cast your vote.
