FairVote Minnesota Southeast

FairVote Minnesota Board member, Dag Knudsen, has launched FairVoteMinnesota SouthEast, a program to educate Southeast Minnesota communities about Instant Runoff Voting and to facilitate community interest in initiating charter amendment efforts around Instant Runoff Voting.

Initial work is focused on discussions with Redwing and Lake City charter commissions, but the effort will broaden to include Goodhue, Wabasha, Winona, Houston, Olmstead, and Fillmore counties, which are home to the following charter cities: Cannon Falls, Red Wing, Lake City, Wabasha, Winona, Rushford, Chatfield, and Rochester.

Outreach activities will include a website, educational materials and a newsletter focused specifically on this geographic area as well as presentations to community groups and local policy making bodies.

For further information, assistance, ideas, or requests for educational materials and presentations, contact Dag I. Knudsen at dag.knudsen@fairvotemn.org, or phone 651-345-3800, or mail to P. O. Box 180, Lake City, MN 55041-0180.
