Voters would rank candidates for U.S. House and Senate races instead of choosing only one. The ranked count would replace separate runoff elections. States would get federal money to switch systems and teach voters how it works.

Latest action on S. 3425: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects voters, election offices, candidates, campaigns, and states. Voters would see a different kind of ballot for congressional races. Election offices would need new systems, training, and voter education. Candidates and campaigns would have to compete for first-choice votes and lower-ranked support.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would change the basic act of voting for Congress. Voters would be able to rank several candidates instead of picking one. That could change who wins crowded races, how campaigns ask for support, and whether runoff elections are needed. The change would also put major work on election offices, because they would need new tools, clear ballots, and strong voter education.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
