A free film and panel discussion event on Ranked Choice Voting and other electoral reforms.

Want more choices at the ballot box? Learn how some states' primaries give voters just that - more choice and more voice in who represents them. Can changing how we structure elections reduce political dysfunction and dangerous polarization? Should the system encourage – not discourage – legislators working together for the public good?

Learn how Alaska changed the rules to give voters just that – more choice and better representation. Join Better Ballot NC for a half-hour documentary showing the benefits of Ranked Choice Voting. Directly following will be a panel discussion also featuring representatives of other electoral reform organizations and political parties.

Doors open at 7pm, with the program starting at 7:30pm.

Panelists:

Steve Ignac: Libertarian Party of Guilford County
Sarah Johnson: Better Ballot North Carolina
Josh Peters: North Carolina Forward Party
Andy Stern: League of Women Voters of the Piedmont Triad

More panelists to be announced.
