On November 2009, the people of Minneapolis will be voting with a new voting system:  Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). This is new for voters and candidates alike. Candidates have many questions about how they should campaign under the new system – what’s effective, what’s not and how they should ask voters to rank them on the ballot.

 

FairVote Minnesota provides a campaign strategy guide to help answer some of these questions for candidates running under the new system this year. It is based on the experiences of Ranked Choice Voting elections in San Francisco (CA), Burlington (VT) and Cambridge (MA), as well as in nations such as Ireland, Scotland and Australia.
