Dems eye ranked-choice voting for primaries [View all]

Democratic politicians and activists are quietly lobbying to upend the way the party picks its presidential nominee by urging the use of ranked-choice voting.

It's a tool that drew national attention when it propelled New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to a decisive primary win.

Driving the news: Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin and other top party officials have met privately with advocates who are pushing for the voting method to be expanded for the 2028 presidential primaries, three sources tell Axios.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Joe Biden pollster Celinda Lake, the nonprofit FairVote Action and other Democrats pitched the idea at a late October meeting, the sources said.
