April 29, 2020
Ranked-Choice Voting was used as a remedy in a Voting Rights Act case for the first time in November 2019, when Eastpointe, Michigan used

Washington placing RCV as a potential remedy. The New York Voting Rights Act, S. 7528, would also include RCV as a remedy should it pass
in New York this year.
