About Us

About Us

WE ARE A GROUP OF BLOOMINGTON RESIDENTS WHO SUPPORT USING RANKED CHOICE VOTING (RCV) TO MAKE OUR LOCAL ELECTIONS MORE INCLUSIVE AND REPRESENTATIVE, AND TO EMPOWER VOTERS WITH MORE CHOICE AND MORE VOICE.

We want our mayor and city council elections to be more positive, engaging, and efficient for voters, candidates, city staff and taxpayers.

Through local, grassroots efforts, we have built support across the community from residents who want to see less polarization, partisanship and negative campaigning, and more candidate diversity, voter engagement and focus on issues important to residents. RCV supporters across Bloomington agree that by eliminating the costly, low-turnout primary, we can not only save tax dollars, but make our local democracy more representative.
