| Desc | Anti-Corruption Act Research and Reform Efforts:In 2017, Represent.Us expanded the anti-corruption policy suite to include redistricting and fair representational voting systems. Policies which aim to improve the fairness of our elections include open primaries, ranked choice voting, automatic voter registration, vote by mail, and campaign finance reforms that incentivize politicians to seek small-dollar contributions instead of relying on a few large donors. RU redistricting reforms end the practice of gerrymandering to ensure accurate and competitive elections. RU conducts in-depth research to determine the culture of political courrption and the needs of each locality. This research lays the foundation for bespoke policy solutions and enables RU to indentify and parter with grasstops leaders and organizations. | Desc |
