Vermont Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas and League of Women Voters of Vermont will co-host a two-part series of virtual forums to discuss Ranked Choice Voting (RCV).

As interest has grown in RCV, in the state legislature and among municipalities, interest groups and voters, the Secretary and the League hope these discussions will inform the debate and raise the profile of this system of voting.

This is your opportunity to learn about ranked choice voting before VT legislature considers it again.

Wednesday, May 1, from 7:00-8:30 pm on Zoom.
