This November, the San Francisco Department of Elections is sending all voters a Vote by Mail Ballot. Watch @fairvote’s Pedro Hernandez interviews Evangelina Pena, Outreach Assistant Manager with @SFElections. https://t.co/DxNCOKuhyC
“Because candidates are still seeking a second or third preference, they don’t want another candidate’s supporters to actively dislike them, so they will frequently engage in more issue-based [campaigning]” https://t.co/R4OeJe1pD8
#PSA: #SanFrancisco will have a new voting system for the November 5th Election and #SFElections will be hosting voting system demonstration pop-up events throughout the City! Connect with us if you want us to host a demonstration at your community event! #newvotingsystem
Local democracy matters.
That’s why local governments should have a say in how their elections are conducted.
@CAgovernor@GavinNewsom: please sign #SB212 so local citizens can have a greater voice in governance.
#SB212 will allow all jurisdictions—including cities, counties, school boards—to have the option to adopt RCV or a top-two system, thereby ensuring a decisive election is held when voter turnout is highest in November.
That’s why we urge @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom to sign SB212.
Governor @GavinNewsom has a bill on his desk that would let every city & town in California use ranked choice voting (which would make elections more positive, reduce gridlock & partisanship, elect more candidates of color and women to office, and more). We need #SB212!
🚨BREAKING🚨
The Rules and Bylaws Committee of the DNC unanimously approved proposals by the Hawaii and Kansas state Democratic parties to allow voters to cast ranked choice voting (RCV) ballots in their 2020 party-run presidential primaries.

Ranked choice voting is SO brilliant. #SB212, authored by Sen @BenAllenCA, allows cities & counties to use ranked-choice voting or two-round runoffs. This cuts costs for elections and makes democracy easier and more efficient. All we need is for @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom to sign!
