IRV on Ballot and Before Legislature in Vermont's Biggest City

A binding measure for IRV will be one of the questions on the March ballot in Vermont's largest city. This follows a non-binding vote in November, when Burlington voters supported IRV by a two-to-one margin.

With support from former governor Howard Dean, the League of Women Voters, AFL-CIO, and others, Vermont's Secretary of State is urging the legislature to adopt IRV for statewide offices as well.
