Help Educate Voters about Ranked Choice Voting!

Portland is holding its first ever ranked choice voting election November 8th. Help educate voters about how to use ranked choice voting! We will be running mock elections all over Portland to give people a chance to become familiar with ranked choice voting before they get into the voting booth.

We'll be asking folks what their favorite Mainer Movie is using a survey that looks like the Portland ballot for mayor. The results will be posted on www.portlandvotes123.com where voters will be able to get additional information and resources about ranked choice voting.

Are you available at any of the following times?

Wednesday November 2nd,
7:00am-2:00pm - Portland Farmer's Market


Thursday November 3rd, 11:45pm-1;00pm - Monument Square
