RCV ban is the goal. So much for local control.

[Rep. Mickey Dollens @MickeyDollens]

Rank Choice Voting (RCV) is the focus at this morning’s interim study at the state capitol. There are rumors that certain lawmakers are considering a statewide ban on RCV, similar to when the state legislature prohibited cities from setting local minimum wages. You can tune in live to watch the discussion, which begins at 9am. https://t.co/HNbu6KwP1g

[Rep. Mickey Dollens @MickeyDollens]

Great news! The ballot initiative study has been approved! Once we have a date set with the chairman of the Elections and Ethics Committee, I'll provide more details. Stay tuned for further updates!

“OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Mickey Dollens, D-Oklahoma City, is set to host a study before the 2024 legislative session to examine attempts to undermine the citizen-led ballot initiative petition process.

By hosting this study, which was approved by the Speaker of the House last week, Dollens plans to create an opportunity for experts, stakeholders, and concerned citizens to come together and examine the importance and the need to protect the initiative petition process.

"The initiative petition process is a cornerstone of our democracy, enabling everyday citizens to change the law,” Rep. Dollens said. “We must safeguard this process and ensure it remains accessible and fair for all Oklahomans."

Initiative petitions allow voters to implement policies when the legislature fails to act. However, this process is under attack in many states, including Oklahoma. Republican lawmakers across the U.S. continue to file legislation that would have made it near impossible to pass popular state questions regarding Medicaid expansion, medical marijuana, and criminal justice reform.

"Our study aims to shed light on the current state of the initiative petition process, explore potential areas for improvement, and address the concerning trend of legislation that seeks to mute the voices of voters,” Rep. Dollens said. “We must ensure that our democratic processes are preserved and strengthened.”

Dollens hopes to have the study this fall. More details will become available in the coming weeks. The OKC-based representative encourages anyone with comments or questions about the study or initiative petitions to contact his office.”

The Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2004!! That means #RankedChoiceVoting for statewide and federal races is coming to Oregon's 2024 ballot!🎉

Oregon made history today: This is the first time that any legislature in the US has referred a statewide RCV bill to the ballot!

[Rank the Vote @RankTheVoteUSA]

Don't listen to anyone who tells you #RankedChoiceVoting is too complicated for you! #Polls from #RCV jurisdictions across the country show that almost all #voters in every demographic group find it easy to use.

To those who claim that RCV helps Democrats more than Republicans: "Conservative parties [using #RankedChoiceVoting] have done just fine around the world in countries like Australia and Ireland where it is practiced."
