Literature and promotional items

The CfER brochure can be printed and/or photocopied onto two sides of a sheet and folded into thirds for mailing or handing out.

The "What is IRV?" pages on this site are designed to be printed out from Internet Explorer. Please do print these, and disseminate widely. A text version is available that can be pasted into email messages. A PDF version of a Cal IRV brochure is available (perfectionists with high-speed connections can try a higher resolution version). Email us if you have trouble printing it.

Other promotional articles are available at the Center for Voting and Democracy, InstantRunoff.com, and links therein. With appropriate permission, you could reprint these in your organization's newsletter. CVD has produced a nice paper brochure, and CfER has many copies of this; contact your local chapter if you want some.

How you can help

If a group you're affiliated with (political party, union, civic group, club, school, etc.) needs to make a group decision, such as electing a president or board, or just choosing a meeting time and date, suggest that it make the decision using IRV or Choice Voting. If you conduct business online, consider using a DemoChoice poll. We can also help you give a presentation to your group on new election methods. If you can convince your group to endorse a formal resolution in support of election reform legislation, this can be extremely valuable in such efforts.

We have a house party program where you can help your friends learn and share ideas about electoral reform.

If you can help us create more logos, slogans, brochures, flyers, etc., please do! You can build them from information on this site or add info of your own. We can post it here if you'd like.

Also, please discuss election reform informally with your friends. It's usually very easy to make electoral reform part of a cocktail party conversation. Be sure to mention CfER - and if they are enthusiastic, invite them to join us!
