14. BURLINGTON VOTERS CHOOSE IRV (from
<http://www.fairvote.org/irv/vt2003/index.html>)
On March 1, Burlington voters gave instant runoff voting a
landslide win. Even as other high-profile ballot measures went down
in defeat, 62% of voters supported adopting instant runoff voting for
mayoral elections.
Attention now turns to the Vermont's state legislature, where
an IRV bill has been introduced with tri-partisan support and 43
sponsors. The bill (H. 385), calls for IRV in elections for United
States senator and representative to U.S. Congress, electors for U.S.
president, and all statewide offices.
