Check out "Majority Rules," a thought-provoking documentary that delves into how Alaska abandoned the traditional political playbook and revolutionized the way elections are conducted. Good-bye party primaries, hello ranked-choice voting.
From surprise elections to political shakeups (yes, Sarah Palin is part of this story), Majority Rules reveals what happens when a state decides to put power back in the hands of the people.
Hear from real leaders like Senator Lisa Murkowski and Former Rep. Mary Peltola as they navigate a system designed to give voters more voice and more choice.
Rank Choice Voting is a simple upgrade to the way that we vote that allows you to rank your candidates in the order that you prefer, as many or as few as you want. It's a simple change that produces dramatic effects, ranging from reduced polarization to increased representation and the elimination of the spoiler effect, and it's overall beneficial for democracy. It gives voters more choice and more voice on their ballots.
If you're into democracy, political reform, or want to understand how things could be better, this is your must-watch! Join us in the sanctuary after the service on Sunday, October 12th, for the 30-minute version and/or at 6:30 pm on Friday, October 17th, for the full-length version, both followed by a Q&A session with Nicole Sanchez and Marcurius Byrd of the Better Ballot Initiative.
