Dear John,

2021 is an historic year for Ranked Choice Voting in Minnesota.

Never before have we had five Minnesota cities – representing 16% of Minnesota voters – conducting RCV elections at the same time! As New York recently demonstrated, voter education and outreach is crucial to implementing a successful ranked-choice election. Despite opponents' claims that RCV is confusing, polling showed that NYC voters overwhelmingly found it easy to understand, and turnout was at its highest level in decades. The NYC education campaign was critical to this success.

FairVote Minnesota MUST reach voters in all five cities, educate them and encourage them to rank their vote. Early voting begins September 17.

We, along with other dedicated supporters, are offering a $45,000 match challenge between now and July 19 (we’ve extended the deadline through the busy Pride Festival weekend) to help fuel this voter education and advance RCV statewide. We just have $15,000 to go!

Maximize your donation by giving whatever you can today - we will match every dollar you donate!
