The Local Voices, Local Choices Act , carried by Rep. Cedrick Frazier and Sen. Kelly Morrison and now part of Rep. Freiberg’s Elections Finance Omnibus bill, ensures all Minnesota local jurisdictions (cities, counties, school districts) have the power to adopt RCV for local elections if they choose. The bill also provides standards for local use of RCV, making the implementation process easier, and allows state certification of RCV voting equipment and tabulation systems, allowing for faster election results.
In cities that use RCV, turnout is higher, voters like it, and find it easy to use. It’s time to give all local jurisdictions the power to decide for themselves if ranked choice voting is best for them.
Your presence at this hearing is critical to support RCV and counter its opponents. RSVP now to join us tomorrow . [[link removed]]
