The evidence I have seen suggests that RCV increases turn-out. [But it's important that voters be given the choice to
rank as many or few candidates as they like, so that a voter always has the option of voting for a single candidate (in
effect, he would be ranking all other candidates as tied for second). In practice, most voters choose to rank two or three
candidates, but a significant fraction just rank one]
