Oakland Rising Throws Down for Ranked Choice Voting - and WINS!
February 21, 2010

In the next 7 months Oakland Rising will be contacting at least 20,000 voters in the flatlands to talk with them about Ranked Choice Voting (also known as Instant Runoff Voting).  In November 2010, voters will be using Ranked Choice Voting for the first time since it was approved by 68% in the November 2006 election.  It's been a battle to get City Council to move it forward, but we're finally on the path!  Below is an article written by our Field Director that outlines the struggle and the victory of Instant Runoff (Ranked Choice) Voting.
