John,

Summer is coming to an end, and the first signs of fall are in the air! Here at FairVote Minnesota, that can only mean one thing: it’s election season! 

• This fall, we’re working hard to protect and expand democracy in our state. After another successful appearance at the state fair (where we signed up more than 1,300 new RCV supporters), we’re turning our attention to electing a pro-RCV majority in the Minnesota House of Representatives. 
• At the same time, in Bloomington we are in full swing to defend ranked choice voting from a repeal attempt by extreme RCV foes. 
• And voters across the country are preparing to vote on the future of RCV in their states.

FairVote Minnesota continues campaign to win RCV legislative majority

This summer, we endorsed legislative candidates from across the state with our RCV Democracy Champion Badge. And after helping a number of those candidates advance out of contested primaries, we have now turned our focus to the general election. 

The RCV Local Option Bill narrowly missed passage in the Minnesota House of Representatives this spring, coming up only two votes short. We are working hard to secure those votes so we can pass the bill in 2025 and allow all Minnesota cities, counties, and school districts to adopt RCV.

Now is the time — join our doorknocking crew in key swing districts and be on the front lines of democracy expansion in our state! Let’s elect a pro-RCV majority this November! 

Vote No on Repeal campaign launches in Bloomington

This weekend, the Vote NO Bloomington campaign officially launched its field program! Representatives Nathan Coulter and Steve Elkins joined volunteers for coffee and donuts before knocking on doors across the city! 

The Vote NO campaign has already talked to thousands of Bloomington voters and distributed dozens of Vote NO signs. Sign up to volunteer and help reach voters before Election Day! And if you live in Bloomington, get your lawn sign now! 

RCV across the country

RCV is everywhere! This November, six states and the District of Columbia will vote on RCV. 

• Four states — Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon, along with DC — will vote on whether to adopt RCV.
• Alaska voters will decide whether or not to repeal it — yep, the same Heritage-aligned RCV foes attacking RCV in Bloomington are trying to repeal it in Alaska.
• Missouri voters will cast ballots on an RCV ban. 
• Finally, Arizona and Montana will vote on ballot measures that could eventually lead to RCV adoption.
