ONLINE: A Conversation About Final-Five Voting

press release: Final-Five Voting is a viable alternative to the hyper partisanship associated with our current plurality voting system. At the present time, 26 states use some version of Final-Five (ranked choice) Voting. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in Wisconsin to use this approach for federal congressional elections. Tuesday's event will cover the concept of Final-Five Voting in detail and discuss the issue from the viewpoints from an experienced panel.
