FairVote Minnesota will present on Instant Runoff Voting to the Bloomington Rotary Club.

When: Noon, Monday, November 2, 2008

Where: Airport Hilton Hotel, Bloomington

FFI: info@fairvotemn.org

Instant Runoff Voting is on the October 8th agenda of the Duluth Charter Commission.

A steering committee of active Duluth citizens has organized the presentation as part of a growing effort to educate Duluth public officials and the public about Instant Runoff Voting and to gain support for a potential IRV charter amendment campaign there.

Arguments in the IRV lawsuit brought by the Minnesota Voters Alliance against the City of Minneapolis will be heard October 8 at 8:30 am in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis. FairVote Minnesota is a co-defendant in the case.

FairVote MN will partner with the DFL, Green Party, and Independence Party to educate Fair goers about Instant Runoff Voting. We'll have 12-day demonstration elections at all the booths. Make sure to visit your party of choice -or all three!- when you visit the fair to try out IRV for yourself.

When: August 21 - September 1
