Are you a fan of instant runoff voting (also known as ranked choice voting) and want your friends to know it too? This is a perfect opportunity!

We can send a presenter who knows all about IRV and can easily communicate that information to you and your guests. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to see IRV in action with an election of your choice. Some of our favorites are cookies, wings, and beer, but if you have something else in mind, we're open! Just let us know.

To host a house party, simply fill out the form below and we'll be in touch.

Some happy guests at our first house party!

"We, the undersigned citizens of South Carolina, are tired of the State of South Carolina wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars every two years on unnecessary runoff elections. I’m fed up with making voters waste their time going to the polls twice to elect someone, when there’s a simple way to vote just once. I’m frustrated with not voting my conscience due to fear of splitting my vote or acting as a 'spoiler'. I’m upset that candidates can be elected without a majority of the votes cast. We are tired of negative and divisive politics. I long for a voting system that promotes respectable candidate debates instead of the current practice of 'mudslinging' and 'flaming.'
 
We believe South Carolina can be a leader in bringing civility and efficiency back to our government through the use of instant runoff voting.
I appeal to the South Carolina Legislature to pass - and the Governor to sign – legislation that allows instant runoff voting in South Carolina elections."

Together we can make a difference!
