Attention now turns to the Vermont's state legislature, where an IRV bill has been introduced with tri-partisan support and 43 sponsors. The bill (H. 385), calls for IRV in elections for United States senator and representative to U.S. Congress, electors for U.S. president, and all statewide offices.
Burlington Voters Choose IRV
On March 1, Burlington voters gave instant runoff voting a landslide
win. Even as other high-profile ballot measures went down in defeat,
62% of voters supported adopting instant runoff voting for mayoral
elections.
