The Minneapolis IRV Charter Amendment effort is seeking coalition partners to build awareness of and support for the IRV charter amendment and to gather signatures from their constituencies for a charter amendment petition.  Let us know how you can help by pledging support on the attached Coalition Partner Letter of Commitment if you are an organization or a group, or on the Individual Endorsement card if you are an individual.

Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) eliminates low turnout primaries in municipal elections, ensures majority rule in one election, increases voter participation, is easy for voters to use, saves time and money, solves the spoiler problem, eliminates wasted votes, allows third parties to get a true measure of support and improves campaigns.  This document is a one-page handout that describes the benefits of IRV over the current two-round runoff system.

How do Minneapolis elections work now?  What's good and bad about the primary system?  How can Minneapolis elections work better?  How does Instant Runoff Voting work, where is it used and how can it be adopted in Minneapolis?  Find answers to these questions in the Minneapolis Instant Runoff Voting Q & A.

An exciting campaign is building to amend the Minneapolis city charter to make Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) the method by which we elect our city officials.
