 <title>Berkeley IRV- Tuesday Rally and City Council outreach</title>
 <link>http://www.marinrankedvoting.org/node/161</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;event-nodeapi&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-1-start&quot;&gt;&lt;label&gt;Start: &lt;/label&gt;03/07/2006 - 6:00pm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;event-nodeapi&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-1-end&quot;&gt;&lt;label&gt;End: &lt;/label&gt;03/07/2006 - 7:00pm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-body flexinode-1&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-textarea-1&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;form-item&quot;&gt;
 &lt;label&gt;Body:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;In March 2004 Berkeley voters overwhelmingly passed Measure I,  which told our government to implement Instant Runoff Voting (a.k.a.  Ranked Choice Voting) as soon as possible- yet now it&#039;s 2006 and there&#039;s still no IRV! However, it&#039;s completely possible to have it in time for this November&#039;s elections.  The Registrar of Voters and ESS, the voting machine vendor which ran San Francisco&#039;s successful and scandal-free IRV elections in 2004 &amp;amp; 2005, are working out the costs and tasks of the county and Berkeley right now. The immense economic  savings IRV will bring by eliminating costly and undemocratic runoff elections are already well-known.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
