“Two simple but powerful things are true about Alaska’s elections: Every eligible voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, regardless of party, in every taxpayer-funded election; and candidates have to win a majority of the vote to take office in November.” — Nick Troiano, Unite America Executive Director Learn more about how Alaska is putting voters first ⬇️ https://bit.ly/4dyeMI2

How much does your vote matter? Elections often include a variety of issues on the ballot, ranging from federal to state and local matters. Local elections can be particularly impactful, as they often involve decisions on tax rate increases, spending proposals, and additional regulations. Each vote in these elections can have a significant impact on the outcome. #Vote #BusinessAdvocacy #GeneralElection

Native American voters matter, as many are in swing states and swing districts. Have questions? The non-partisan Native American Rights Fund and Election Protection are fighting Native American voter suppression.

Our votes have POWER 🔥🗳️ Native American voters have become increasingly recognized as a crucial voting bloc in U.S. elections, particularly in swing states like Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan. Their impact has been seen as significant in previous elections as their turnout has sometimes been the deciding factor in close races, including the 2020 presidential election and the 2022 midterms. In a recent interview with MSNBC, Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Band of Ojibwe) discussed the power and impact of the Native American vote: "I think Native people are strategically located in swing states across the country and our vote, the Native vote, can make or break a campaign or election. So, in many ways, ignore us at your peril.” Read Newsweek’s article, “Native American Votes Can 'Make or Break' Elections: Minn. Lt. Governor” to learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/epPEzu5c #NativeVote #RockTheVote #NativeAmerican #Native #Indigenous #WeAreIndigenous #NativeLed

Early voting is happening (again) this week! This is the second election in May for most Dallas residents. In early May, we voted in the Bond Election, ISD Trustee, and Dallas College Trustee elections. This week is early voting for partisan primary run-off elections for county, state, and federal races. It’s a lot for most residents to track, and our voter turnout numbers in all these elections are dismal. If you think we have too many elections AND want to save the City some money, join me in support of moving municipal elections from May of odd-numbered years to November of odd-numbered years. November elections historically have higher turnout, and we’d save the City approximately $500,000 by having the election overlap with the already planned Constitutional Amendment elections in odd-year Novembers. The Chamber, League of Women Voters of Dallas, and many other civic groups support this, as do many individual residents. Let me know if you’d like to support this initiative to increase turnout and save money! #DallasVotes

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is transforming the way elections are decided, promising a more nuanced and representative outcome. By allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference, RCV aims to ensure that every vote counts, even if your top choice doesn’t win. But while RCV can prevent votes from being wasted on less popular candidates, it also introduces complexities that can lead to surprising results. Understanding how to navigate this system is crucial for making your vote count effectively and avoiding unintended consequences. Dive into this article to uncover the ins and outs of RCV and learn how to vote strategically in upcoming elections. https://lnkd.in/gkHzPP9p

The quickest path to responsible government and accountable politicians is through OPEN and competitive #elections. That's why Veterans for Idaho Voters (V4IV) is fighting to bring the Alaska Election Model to the Gem state in 2024 (read more below). In 2024, 8-10 states will have ballot amendments or legislation to reform their uncompetitive election systems. It's no surprise that party bosses and political elites from BOTH major parties oppose these reform efforts. Right now, over 85% of our November elections are not competitive. Even worse, our primary election process is closed, or semi-closed to Independent #voters like me. Independent voters pay taxes that help fund public primary elections, but they can't fully participate. #taxationwithoutrepresentation In most states, primary #elections (the first round of voting) are neither democratic nor representative of what a majority of voters want. Join Veterans for All Voters and the Independent Reform Movement, today, on our mission to implement REAL structural solutions to America's "primary problem." Onward!
