Program areas at FairVote Vote Minnesota

In the 2022 legislative session, we continued to advocate for legislation that would provide a local option for communities that want to adopt Ranked Choice Voting and expand RCV to our state and federal elections. Introduced in 2021, the RCV legislation continued to build support and was one of the most popular bills in the 2022 legislative session. Unfortunately, the divided legislature remained gridlocked and left major bills undone, including RCV. To ensure RCV and other blocked election measures were heard, we organized a Rally for Democracy with other democracy reform organizations on May 4 in the Minnesota Capitol Rotunda where hundreds cheered on democracy champions who support protecting and expanding voting rights and passing powerful reforms like Ranked Choice Voting. Gov. Tim Walz spoke at the rally and reiterated his strong support for RCV, along with US Representatives Dean Phillips and Ilhan Omar and dozens of legislative champions.
We continued our hugely successful RCV candidate program, initially launched in 2020, awarding the RCV democracy champion badge, regardless of party, to all candidates committed to supporting and passing RCV locally and statewide; we awarded badges to a total of 128 candidates, including gubernatorial candidates and legislative leaders, and we promoted their support throughout the campaign season. By the end of the election, we had secured the strong and public commitment from House and Senate leadership and Governor Walz to make RCV a priority in the 2023 session.
FairVote Minnesota hosted numerous events to prepare our supporters and voters for a critical election year. After redistricting maps came out in February, we shared our Insider's Briefing on Minnesota's political maps and what they mean for Ranked Choice Voting, with experts who shared their insights on how the new districts would impact Minnesota's political landscape for 2022 and the years ahead. Throughout the political convention season, we hosted a series of virtual candidate meet and greets for delegates and community members in state legislative districts with contested endorsements to help educate delegates and voters about the candidates and their stance on Ranked Choice Voting and other democracy reforms ahead of endorsing conventions. We attended more than 50 senate district and congressional district conventions -- tabling, educating delegates, submitting resolutions and ensuring the prominence and visibility of RCV.
