We are a nonpartisan coalition of Californians who believe that all citizens deserve equal and satisfactory representation in government. We are working to promote and implement voting methods that fulfill this right as much as possible.

What's New

The New America Foundation has this new proposal for proportional representation in California.

The City of San Jose is talking about IRV. Santa Clara County's charter already authorizes adoption for county offices.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and and the Los Angeles City Council are both studying IRV. Meanwhile, endorsements of this campaign continue to pile up.

City council committees in Long Beach are also considering replacing costly runoffs with IRV.

Quote of the day: "We hold that, construed in its historical context, the command of Article I, Section 2 [of the Constitution] that Representatives be chosen 'by the People of the several States' means that, as nearly as is practicable, one man's vote in a congressional election is to be worth as much as another's." -- U.S. Supreme Court, Wesberry v. Sanders, 1964
