Action Agenda of
Massachusetts Democratic Party Takes Postion on IRV

The Massachusetts
Democratic Party, at its convention on June 7, adopted an Action
Agenda that includes the following quote: INVOLVEMENT AND OUTREACH
IN OUR POLITICAL PROCESS We know that public cynicism and
disillusionment with politics creates a lack of participation, which
is a threat to our democratic system. Therefore, we call for: A
continued commitment to comprehensive, publicly funded campaign
finance reform. Expanded voter registration efforts and the
evaluation of alternative voting methods, such as instant run off
voting to increase voter participation, especially among 18-35 year olds. |
