| Desc | RANKED CHOICE VOTING EDUCATIONFAIRVOTE HAD A SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN 2017. OUR PROGRAM WORK INCREASED PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ELECTORAL RULES AFFECT PARTICIPATION AND OUR REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. WE ENGAGED IN RESEARCH, ANALYSIS, COMMUNICATIONS, EDUCATION, AND ADVOCACY WITHIN EACH OF OUR THREE MAJOR PROGRAM AREAS: EDUCATION ABOUT RANKED CHOICE VOTING; EDUCATION ABOUT REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN ELECTED OFFICE; AND GENERAL DEMOCRACY WORK INVOLVING ISSUES SUCH AS PRIMARIES, REDISTRICTING, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE. INTERNALLY, WE TOOK IMPORTANT STEPS TO STRENGTHEN OUR ORGANIZATION AS WELL WITH NEW STAFF AND SOURCES OF FUNDING. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)OUR MAJOR PROGRAM FOCUS WAS RESEARCH AND PUBLIC EDUCATION ABOUT RANKED CHOICE VOTING (RCV). RCV HAS IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS IN NEARLY ANY CONTEXT WHERE VOTING OCCURS. THIS INCLUDES CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CHOOSING THEIR LEADERS AND STRENGTHENING VOTING RIGHTS FOR OVERSEAS VOTERS IN RUNOFFS. THESE USES CAN GROUND SUPPORT FOR EXTENDING RCV TO PRACTICAL STATEWIDE USES, SUCH AS REPLACING RUNOFF ELECTIONS, AND USING RCV FOR GENERAL ELECTIONS AND IN COMBINATION WITH CHANGES LIKE OPEN PRIMARIES AND MULTI-WINNER DISTRICTS. RCV CAN BE APPEALING IN MULTIPLE WAYS AND A SUBJECT OF CONSIDERATION FOR USE IN ELECTING OUR NATION'S HIGHEST OFFICES. EXAMPLES OF 2017 PROGRAM WORK IN THESE PROGRAM AREA INCLUDE:PARTNERSHIP WITH STATE ALLIES: WE ENGAGE WITH REFORM PARTNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. OUR NOVEMBER 2017 REFORMERS' SUMMIT DREW MORE THAN 50 PARTICIPANTS FROM 21 STATES AND CANADA TO LEARN FROM FAIRVOTE AND EACH OTHER ON MESSAGING AND ADVOCACY TOOLS. WE HAVE REGULAR COMMUNICATION WITH FORMALLY ORGANIZED STATE GROUPS IN COLORADO, NEVADA, MISSOURI, FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, UTAH, WASHINGTON, OREGON, ILLINOIS, MASSACHUSETTS, AND OHIO. WE ALSO PARTNER WITH GROUPS LIKE REPRESENT.US, TAKE BACK THE REPUBLICAN, AND LOCAL ARMS OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS. NEW ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ACCESS TO BEST PRACTICES AND RESOURCES THROUGH OUR ONLINE TOOLKITHERE ARE EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK IN STATES: NEW MEXICO: IN MARCH FAIRVOTE HIRED MARIA PEREZ TO RUN OUR FAIRVOTE NEW MEXICO PROJECT. HER FOCUS WAS TO HELP FACILITATE A SMOOTH INTRODUCTION OF RANKED CHOICE VOTING IN ITS FIRST USE IN 2018 IN THE CITY OF SANTA FE FOR ELECTIONS FOR MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. WE ALSO CONTRACTED WITH A FORMER RIO RANCHO ELECTION OFFICIAL TO HELP REVIEW STATE PROCEDURES ON ELECTIONS AND TALK WITH ELECTION OFFICIALS ABOUT RANKED CHOICE VOTING.SANTA FE'S ELECTIONS CLERK WAS READY TO POSTPONE USE OF RANKED CHOICE VOTING FOR ITS MARCH 2018 ELECTIONS EVEN THOUGH THE CITY'S VOTING EQUIPMENT HAD RECENTLY BECOME READY TO USE THE SYSTEM AND THE SECRETARY OF STATE WAS READY TO HELP. AS A RESULT, PEREZ JOINED A LAWSUIT TO REVERSE THE CITY'S DECISION, WHICH RESULTED IN A COURT ORDERING SANTA FE TO IMPLEMENT RCV FOR ITS MARCH 2018 ELECTIONS, WITH THE NEW MEXICO SUPREME COURT REJECTING THE CITY'S ATTEMPT TO RESIST THE ORDER AND HELPING AFFIRMING THE LOWER COURT RULING THAT RCV FACES NO CONSTITUTIONAL BARRIERS IN THE STATEFAIRVOTE'S EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL THE CANDIDATES AND CAMPAIGN TEAMS IN RANKED CHOICE VOTING ELECTIONS TO HAVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT RUNNING IN RCV ELECTIONS WHEN IT IS FIRST INTRODUCED IN A COMMUNITY. IN DECEMBER, FAIRVOTE NEW MEXICO HELD A WELL-ATTENDED ALL-DAY WORKSHOP TO WHICH ALL SANTA FE CANDIDATES AND CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEERS FOR THE MARCH 2018 ELECTIONS WERE INVITED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT RANKED CHOICE VOTING AND HEAR ABOUT BEST PRACTICES. THE LEADING CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR PARTICIPATED OR SENT REPRESENTATIVES, ALONG WITH MORE THAN 20 CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEERS. UTAH: FAIRVOTE'S RANKED CHOICE VOTING RESOURCE CENTER WENT TO UTAH THREE TIMES IN 2017 TO MAKE INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS ON HOW TO TALLY RANKED CHOICE VOTING BALLOTS TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN HEARINGS IN MARCH (SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING), MAY (GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS INTERIM SESSION) AND NOVEMBER (GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS INTERIM SESSION). UTAH CIVIC LEADERS SERIOUSLY DEBATED RCV AND HEADED INTO 2018 WITH STRONG INTEREST IN ENABLING CITIES TO TRY OUT RCV. CALIFORNIA: OUR FAIRVOTE CALIFORNIA PROJECT BUILT ON ITS TERRIFIC WORK IN 2016 DOING OUTREACH ABOUT RANKED CHOICE VOTING TO VOTERS IN FOUR CITIES WITH THE SYSTEM. IN PREPARATION FOR MAJOR ELECTIONS IN THESE CITIES IN 2018, IT DEVELOPED DETAILED PLANS FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND DEVELOPED NEW MATERIALS. REMOVING BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTING RCV: OUR RANKED CHOICE VOTING RESOURCE CENTER PROJECT ON REMOVING ELECTION ADMINISTRATION BARRIERS TO RCV CONTINUES TO HAVE A CLEAR POSITIVE IMPACT. PROGRESS IN THESE AREAS INCLUDE PRESENTATIONS AND MEETINGS WITH INFLUENTIAL ELECTION OFFICIALS, EXCELLENT SUCCESS WITH RANKEDCHOICEVOTING.ORG AND ASSOCIATED WEBINARS, SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALL THE KEY VENDORS, INFLUENCE IN THE PROCESS OF DEFENDING NEW FEDERAL STANDARDS, AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUR "UNIVERSAL TABULATOR" TO HELP RUN RCV ELECTIONS ON LEGACY VOTING EQUIPMENT THAT COULD AFFECT TENS OF MILLIONS OF VOTERS. THE CENTER'S STAFF HAS ALSO TESTIFIED IN STATE LEGISLATIVE HEARINGS IN KANSAS, MAINE, AND UTAH AND FILED AFFIDAVITS ON RCV N COURT CASES IN MAINE AND NEW MEXICO.INCREASING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION ABOUT RCV INCLUDING IN THE CONTEXT OF REDISTRICTING REFORM: FAIRVOTE STAFF ENGAGE IN REGULAR MEDIA, HAVE ACCELERATED SOCIAL MEDIA AND BLOG CONTENT, AND REVAMPED THE LOOK OF OUR BLOG TO ATTRACT MORE USERS. OUR SENIOR FELLOW DAVID DALEY HAD MAJOR MEDIA HITS, INCLUDING TWO PIECES FOR THE NEW YORKER ON GERRYMANDERING AND ARTICLES IN THE ATLANTIC, BOSTON GLOBE, WASHINGTON POST AND AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE. DALEY ALSO APPEARED ON CNN AND COMEDY CENTRAL TO TALK ABOUT GERRYMANDERING.OTHER FAIRVOTE STAFFERS HAD OPEDS ON RANKED CHOICE VOTING IN THE NEW YORK TIMES (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROB RICHIE AND COAUTHOR REIHAN SALAM OF THE NATIONAL REVIEW) AND APPEARED ON CSPAN, WITH A FOCUS ON THE FAIR REPRESENTATION ACT, THE FAIRVOTE-INSPIRED LEGISLATION THAT REPRESENTS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE, IMPACTFUL REFORM OF CONGRESS LIKELY EVER INTRODUCED.
