Instant Runoff Voting Petition Filed in St. Paul 7,168 Voters Sign to Seek Election Reform in November

The St. Paul Better Ballot Campaign today filed a petition seeking reform to the current municipal election process. At least 7,168 voters signed on in support of Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) for mayoral and city council races. With 2,070 more signatures than required by law, local volunteers expect that the petition will be certified and the question will appear before voters in November.

VermontIRV

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.
