FairVote (formerly the Center for Voting and Democracy) is a 501(c)(3) organization that advocates electoral reform in the United States.[1]

Wikipedia has an article on:

Founded in 1992 as Citizens for Proportional Representation to support the implementation of proportional representation in American elections, the organization in 1993 became the Center for Voting and Democracy and in 2004 changed its name to FairVote to reflect its support of such platforms as ranked choice voting (RCV), for single-winner elections, a national popular vote for president, a right to vote amendment to the Constitution, and universal voter registration.[2][3] FairVote releases regular publications on the state of the U.S. electoral system, including Dubious Democracy[4] and Monopoly Politics.[5]

Notable members of FairVote's board of directors include its chair, former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic. The previous chair was former Congressman and 1980 independent presidential candidate John Anderson.
