| Desc | RANKED CHOICE VOTING (Outreach and education): We advanced understanding of electoral reform and ranked choice voting in several states and cities Our FairVote Maine project on ranked choice voting had a successful project launch that included inspiring publication of many letters to the editor; partnering with the League of Women Voters of Maine to do presentations in schools and senior centers and engaging in substantive conversations thousands of Mainers. We worked cooperatively with Common Cause in Hawaii (where legislation to use RCV for state and federal vacancies has passed the house), Sightline Institute in the Northwest (with its impressive series of published analyses on fair representation and ranked choice voting), Thornburg Foundation in New Mexico (where it is working to ensure implementation of RCV in Santa Fe as passed by the voters in 2008), and Citizens Union in New York (where the state senate nearly unanimously passed legislation to use ranked choice voting for citywide primary elections in New York City). New tools for education include a video on RCV, a brochure, a community toolkit, and an online RCV voting app | Desc |

| Desc | GENERAL DEMOCRACY (Research and events): We conducted a major assessment of structural electoral reforms that deepened understanding of the relative impact of 37 different reforms and provided insights into the reform landscape in 50 states and different tactics to advance reforms. An impressive group of 14 leading scholars rated reforms on 16 measures involving legislative functionality, electoral accountability, voter engagement and openness of the process. Forms of ranked choice voting led the impact ratings, with multi-winner ranked choice voting seen as the single most impactful change. Their findings echo the result our innovative "Democracy Slam" in April 2015 at the Washington College of Law. This all-day event (see NationalDemocracySlam.com) featured papers on 17 reform proposals, an impressive lineup of speakers that included three current and past Members of Congress, NBC News political analyst Chuck Todd and leading journalist and scholars. An in-person of more than 100 people and an online audience could vote instantly on proposals.In August, we co-sponsored a half-day short course on ranked choice voting at the American Political Science Association conference, where two FairVote staffers presented findings along with an impressive lineup of international and American scholars. In February, we partnered with the Overseas Voter Foundation and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights under Law on a two-day conference that drew more than 300 people to high-profile plenaries and hands-on workshops on topics about elections, voting and voter education | Desc |

This includes: securing grants from the Women Donors Network and Democracy Fund in support of research projects measuring to what degree major PACs and individual donors factor candidate gender into their donations and the impact of electoral rules and structures on representation of women and people of color in county elections; working with Hogan Lovells on a major pro bono project on the legality of various approaches to intentional action to encourage increases in representation of women; and releasing a second State of Women's Representation report with analysis and data on all 50 states that generated significant media attention. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part III, line 2 | This past year has been one of important progress. Institutionally, we hired and integrated several senior staff into our operations, including ones to run our programs on communications, research and outreach. We unveiled a revamped website, improved our financial processes, and moved into new offices. We secured significant general operating support grants from four foundations. FairVote's program work in 2015 helped to promote public understanding of electoral rules that promote participation and respect for every vote and every voice. We engaged in research, analysis, communications, education, and advocacy within each of our three major program areas: research and education about ranked choice voting; research and education about representation of women in elected office; and general democracy work involving issues such as redistricting, presidential elections and the right to vote |
