This is the biggest moment yet for the Local Voices, Local Choices Act. Even just getting the bill on the floor is a culmination of years of hard work — and we’re not done yet! With only a week left of session, we’ll be in high gear doing everything we can to get it turned into law. Stay tuned for next steps!

The bill gives all local jurisdictions (cities, counties, school districts) the power to adopt RCV for local elections if they choose, provides standards for local use of RCV to make implementation easier, and allows state certification of RCV voting equipment and tabulation systems, which would expedite election results.

Thank you so much for all you do to support this promising legislation and the promise of a more inclusive, representative and responsive democracy for all. We hope you can join us at future actions!
