Hello,
I just wanted to remind you that FairVote is hosting a webinar tomorrow called, "Ranked Choice Voting at Universities" at 12pm ET.
You'll hear from students from four out of the 90
colleges and universities that currently use RCV to elect their
student body governments.
Please join us, and pass this along
to those who may be interested or attend a college or university.
Thanks!

Friend --
We’re excited to announce another webinar from our series “The Future of American Elections!”
Over 90 student body governments from universities across the country use ranked choice voting. These elections offer both proof-of-concept for the efficacy of ranked choice voting elections and pave the way for young people to be advocates for electoral reform in their cities, states, and country in the decades to come.
Join us for Ranked Choice Voting at Universities on March 16 at 12pm ET where FairVote executive intern Ben Oestericher, who studies International Politics at Georgetown University, will moderate a panel of students from universities that use ranked choice voting to elect their student body representatives.
You’ll hear from:
-
Charles Aborisade Jr., an intern at FairVote with the Executive Department. He is a
Junior at The George Washington University studying Political Science
& Philosophy. At George Washington University, Charles serves as
an Undergraduate Senator At-Large in a student government elected with
ranked choice voting.
-
Joshua Brause, a
Government major at Colby College from New Haven, Connecticut. In
Colby's Student Government, he is a Class President for the class of
2023. Josh helped shepherd the passage of ranked choice voting at
Colby this Fall.
-
Chloe Wagner, a third-year student in The George
Washington University Honors Program studying political science.
Chloe’s professional experience focuses on campaign finance and
federal elections. At GW, Chloe serves as the Commissioner of the GW
Joint Elections Commission.
- Kaelen Thomas, a student leader and community advocate from Atlanta, Georgia. He is a Senior at Georgia State University, majoring in Political Science with a minor in Public Policy. Kaelen currently serves as the University-Wide Student Body President for Student Government Association at Georgia State University.
During this discussion, the panelists will discuss why they made the switch to RCV and how RCV is shaping student elections.
We hope you can join us,
