Make group decisions fairer, smarter, and more expressive — all from your phone. Ranked Choice Voting is a clean and intuitive tool that helps groups make better decisions using the Ranked Pairs (Tideman) voting method — a system designed to reflect the true will of the voters. Whether you're planning a group trip, organizing a club vote, or settling a friendly debate, this app gives everyone a voice — not just their top choice. FEATURES Drag-and-drop ballot entry Rank as many or as few options as you like — just the ones you care about. Transparent, robust results See a full ranked outcome with win margins, calculated using the Ranked Pairs algorithm. Offline and Shared mode Create Polls for yourself, or host Shared Polls that others can join via room code or invite link. Private and Secure No accounts or tracking. All data stays on your device — unless you choose to host or join a Shared Poll, which stores data anonymously in the cloud. Smart, fair voting logic Based on the Condorcet principle, Ranked Pairs selects winners that reflect collective preferences — not just plurality. Why Ranked Pairs? Unlike common systems like First Past the Post, Ranked Pairs compares every option head-to-head. If one would beat all others in one-on-one matchups, they win. It’s widely regarded for its fairness, resistance to strategic voting, and ability to produce consistent, representative outcomes. Fair group decisions, made simple. Try Ranked Choice Voting today.

Ranked Choices helps groups make decisions with ranked-choice voting. Open a ballot from a shared link or shortcode, arrange the choices in your order of preference, and submit your vote. When results are available, see the winner and round-by-round totals calculated directly in the app. You can also create a basic ballot with a name and at least two choices, then share its canonical RankedChoices.com link. Advanced configuration and ballot management remain available on the website. Supported voting experiences include anonymous ballots, organizer-provided voter codes, multiple winners, and optional group questions. The app provides clear states when a ballot is closed, unavailable, or requires a feature that is not yet supported natively. Ranked Choices does not contain advertising or product analytics. The source code is public, and privacy, support, and reporting links are available inside the app. Ranked Choices is intended for informal and community decision-making. It is not an official election-administration system and should not be relied on for critical or legally binding voting.
