(Thank you Greg for the link fix.)

S.108 passed it's third reading in the Vermont House today! I don't know the details, but here's the Vermont legislative web site version.

Next step will be on to reconciling with the Senate's version (see this post for more), and then on to the Governor's desk where it is hoped he will sing on the dotted line.

Today is a great day to call Governor Douglas and tell him you want S.108 enacted into law.

Instant Runoff Voting, otherwise known as preferential voting, is a way for folks to vote their hopes instead of their fears. IRV gives people the freedom to select the candidate of their choice while simultaneously alleviating the need to select a lesser of two bad candidates ... because even the lesser of two bad candidates is still a bad candidate. VermontIRV is a blog set up to deal specifically with Instant Runoff Voting, and VermontIRV means to do this in a positive, forward looking manner.
