FairVote is a 501(c)(3) organization and lobbying group in the United States.[3] It was founded in 1992 as Citizens for Proportional Representation to support the implementation of proportional representation in American elections. Its focus changed over time to emphasize instant-runoff voting (IRV), a national popular vote, and universal voter registration.[4][5] It changed its name to the Center for Voting and Democracy in 1993 and to FairVote in 2004.
