Join us for our monthly membership meeting on Saturday April, 4th at 10AM!

Gary Schotz from Fair Vote Illinois will give a presentation about rank choice voting: what it is, how is works, where it's already being implemented, and its status here in Illinois. With RCV, voters cast a single ballot and rank candidates in the order they prefer (first choice, second choice, third choice, and so on). Voters’ first choices are then counted. If a candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, meaning more than 50%, that candidate wins. If no candidate has a majority of first-choice votes, the race is decided by an “instant runoff” (RCV is also known as Instant-Runoff Voting, or IRV).

*Stick around after the meeting for the opportunity to socialize and create a personalized craft with the help of our wonderful leader of Stitch ‘n’ Bitch.

This event takes place at the LCDW Office. 10 N Lake St Suite 101 Grayslake IL
