INSTANT RUNOFF VOTING PETITION - CLICK HERE!
CIRV has begun the Sarasota Countywide charter amendment initiative to use Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) for all races that have 3 or more candidates involving the Sherriff, Tax Collector, Supervisor of Elections, Clerk of Court, and Property Appraiser. There are 250,000 voters in Sarasota County. We will need 12,500 verified signatures of voters to qualify IRV for the county ballot. Our goal is to complete signature collection by November 2nd, 2009. We will not be turning in the last batch to be verified until it can coincide with the next regularly scheduled, countywide election so Sarasota County won't have to finance an extra election.
Please download and sign the petition. Then mail it in to us (address is on the petition form). We could also use a donation from you as well to support our efforts. Donations are spent on campaigning and expenses to educate the people about IRV. You can donate here on the web site; just click the paypal link on the side. Please consider a monthly contribution of $25 to support this work.
