Ranked choice voting (RCV) has sparked debate on its impact on electoral campaigns. A Harvard University study reveals that RCV can influence campaign strategies, encouraging broader appeals or targeted approaches depending on the context. Under RCV, voters rank candidates by preference, which may lead to more inclusive discourse. However, in situations with deep partisan or cultural divides, RCV can also incentivize niche targeting. The findings suggest that institutional design plays a crucial role in shaping candidate incentives.
