Think of RCV123 as a ranked-choice voting calculator or spreadsheet.

You set the election policies, confirmations and votes that go in.

Then we calculate and display the results for you.

Ironically, the best way to educate about RCV as a political reform may be to not mention politics at all.

Just use ranked-choice for a group poll or vote and let people realize for themselves ranked-choice is no more controversial than a calculator.

Ranked-choice is just a neutral tool that forms a consensus from a diverse set of opinions.
