A CfER member helped to expose slanted reporting by several newspapers against ranked-choice voting in San Francisco, amidst an ongoing effort by wealthy interest groups to repeal RCV and impose a system that restricts voter choice, reduces voter participation, and is more easily manipulated by heavy campaign spending.

CfER conducted an insightful ranked-choice survey at a recent meeting of the state Republican party.

San Francisco conducted highly successful ranked-choice contests for mayor, sheriff, and district attorney in November.

CfER advocates timely reporting of results in ranked-choice voting. San Francisco's registrar of voters accelerated release of a full RCV count in last November's election.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Ranked Choice Voting in a legal challenge filed by a losing candidate and financed by wealthy special interest groups.

Members of CfER contributed to the proceedings of San Francisco's Voting Systems Task Force.

CfER members are working to minimize damage caused by Prop 14, the June 2010 ballot measure approved by voters to adopt non-partisan blanket primaries for all state and federal offices except President. Many aspects of Prop 14 reduce voters' ability to elect their preferred candidate. We are members of StopTopTwo.org, a broad coalition of organizations. For more on CfER's role see our campaign page.
