Minnesota: Campaign Finance, RCV, & Implementation of Voter Access Laws

Campaign Status: Active

The Policy

Pass a second package of reform bills centered on Ranked Choice Voting and campaign finance reforms. Also, implementation of Democracy for the People Act passed in 2023

Background

In 2023, We Choose Us led the passage of the historic Democracy for the People Act. It was a sweeping reform bill that implemented automatic voter registration, expanded early voting and vote by mail, restored the right to vote, and brought many other positive pro-voter changes to the state of Minnesota. In 2024, the focus will be on ensuring that all of these important and game-changing reforms actually get implemented and don’t get delayed.

Additionally, RepresentUs is partnering with We Choose Us and Fair Vote Minnesota to pass RCV and campaign finance reform laws in 2024. Since 2006, Ranked Choice Voting has been used in a number of municipal elections in places like Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Bloomington, Saint Louis Park, and Minnetonka. In 2023, Minnetonka voters voted to preserve RCV in their city following a high-profile fight.

RepresentUs is part of a broad coalition of organizations in Minnesota including We Choose Us, Fair Vote Minnesota, Unite America, and Fair Vote, and more.
