The Protect and Advance Democracy Act establishes a task force to implement Ranked Choice Voting in Minnesota’s state and federal primary and general elections and allows local jurisdictions to adopt RCV if they wish. If passed, the legislation will set Minnesota on a course to be the first state in the nation to bring RCV statewide through legislative action! Your presence at both events is critical to helping move the bill forward. RSVP today [[link removed]] !

Please make sure to email ALL members of the committee; we want them to get lots of emails urging them to support the bill.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
For the hearing and rally, please come 20-30 minutes early to both events to grab an RCV t-shirt, a sign––and a good viewing spot! We’ll be there to greet you outside the hearing room in the morning and near the front doors in the Capitol Rotunda in the afternoon.
