They provided attendees with information on multiple aspects of RCV, from a history of the method to the various ways RCV results are tabulated.

The RCV Compilation report is a collection of best practices and sample documents to help election administrators prepare for RCV elections. It is a living document that will be regularly updated with new and updated resources as we collect or create them.

Compilation of RCV Resources and Model Practices

This model plan provides a broad map of the start-to-finish process of RCV, from the introduction of legislation to approve this voting method to the certification of election results. Designed as a living document, this model plan will develop as the use of RCV grows, technology expands, and more resources and information are gathered.

Model RCV Implementation Plan

Most states in the U.S. have a number of different types of voting systems used for their elections. Some states have a number of different voting systems manufactured by different vendors. Others use one single vendor but have different models of voting equipment from that vendor. This report outlines potential implementation models for states based on their voting system setup. Available below is also a table outlining the current RCV capabilities of the voting systems from the four largest voting system vendors: Dominion, Election Systems & Software, Hart InterCivic, and Unisyn.
