Background
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.
