Did you hear that STAR Voting was recently used for the first time in a municipal election in Astoria, Oregon? We received the good news the Astoria election had taken place when one of our volunteers, Lynn McConnell, got a personal email back from her city councilor.

Astoria, Oregon: On December 1st, Oregon’s oldest city made history, using Score Then Automatic Runoff "STAR" Voting to fill a recently vacated seat on their City Council.

After several months, the Los Angeles Charter Commission has decided not to pursue STAR Voting as a reform at this time, citing the fact that it is a relatively new innovation. We are super grateful to our amazing LA chapter volunteers who worked incredibly hard on this!

Paper ballots, either cast in person or via vote by mail, are the gold standard of election integrity for a number of reasons. End to end, paper ballots make elections simpler to host, less confusing for voters, more transparent, more secure, and easier to verify.

The New York mayor's race is heating up, and the big question is: "Will Sliwa drop out and clear the way for Cuomo?" Gaming the system instead of courting voters is all too familiar under the traditional Choose One voting system, but STAR Voting can change this. 🧵

The only thing that strikes fear into our hearts! #SpookySeason

Why is #STARVoting the right choice for Los Angeles?

Volunteers Shari, Jon, Joe, Aram, and Lukas (not pictured) handed out minizines and talked to people about STAR Voting at the No Kings march in Portland. Thanks to all our awesome volunteers!

STAR Voting would make our elections more representative. Instead of voting lesser-evil, voters could say how much or how little they like all of the candidates. Consensus candidates would have a better chance to win, rather than polarizing ones.

Attention Portland supporters! Mark your calendars for the No Kings Rally on Saturday the 18th in downtown Portland. We'll be tabling at the rally site there and passing out our brand new zines hot off the press. Join us! www.starvoting.org/pdx_no_kings...

Here's where we are different! We have a "Democracy Test Kitchen" Approach. Instead of prescribing a single reform, we introduce states to the full slate of alternative voting methods including Approval Voting & STAR allowing them to implement the reform that best suit their unique needs.
