Monthly Meeting with Candidate Mike Skivington and MCBlue Ranked Choice Voting event
CANDIDATE SPEAKER, MONTHLY MEETING & “RANKED-CHOICE” VOTING EXPERIENCE TO CHOOSE OUR EXTERIOR SIGN
Speaker via Zoom: Mike Skivington, Wisconsin 39th Assembly District Candidate

5:30 pm Snacks and Conversation
6:00 pm Speaker Candidate Mike Skivington
6:30 pm Meeting with “Ranked Choice” Voting Experience to choose our exterior sign

At this meeting, you can help choose Marquette Dems Office exterior sign and experience Ranked-Choice Voting at the same time!
Anyone can submit a design, too. Send your design by June 15th to brian@mcblue.org, or drop it at the office (open hours below). If you get stuck for time, bring it with you to the meeting! You can email Brian with questions or a template. The actual sign will be 10.75” high by 8-10 feet wide.
What’s Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV)?
It’s an electoral system where voters rank candidates in order of preference, rather than just choosing a single candidate.
“RCV is not a new electoral system by any means. It’s been utilized in a number of places in the United States since around 1915. RCV is used in city elections in New York City and several other cities and towns, both large and small. It’s also used at the state level in Maine for federal elections, Alaska (paired with a type of non-partisan “open” primary) for all state and federal elections, and elsewhere for presidential primaries. Internationally, versions of it are used widely in Australia, Ireland, Malta, and elsewhere. And notably, a young senator who went by the name Barry Obama proposed RCV in Illinois way back in 2002. While the eventual President Obama’s efforts failed, legislation related to RCV continues to regularly be filed in the Illinois General Assembly.”
