RCV Day / IRV Day

Mark your calendars for RCV Day, 1/23 (123, get it? We're so punny). This nationwide event is a brainchild of FairVote and RankTheVote to promote RCV/IRV that will run all weekend.

There are two great events in South Carolina on Saturday January 22.

The first is a canvass in Columbia at the Soda City Market. Join us to find new supporters and educate our fellow South Carolinians.

Second, there will be a house party in North Charleston. Great for new and seasoned supporters alike. Learn more about IRV and meet fellow supporters.

Plus, on the day itself, 1/23, we'll be posting all over social media to raise awareness. Join us by sharing graphics and information with your friends and family.
