SUMMARY:Voting\, Government\, and You
CONTACT:Eric Wilhelm
DESCRIPTION:AQI looks good!\nPedal a short easy tour of Portland's five 
 levels of government and some of their meeting locations.  Learn how 
 Portland is governed and how to get involved with public meetings\, 
 advocacy campaigns\, ballot initiatives\, elections\, or other ways to 
 participate.  Meet grassroots voting advocates and learn about how simple 
 and fair voting methods differ from choose-only-one models like 
 IRV/STV.\n\nSTAR Voting is an innovative voting method for more 
 representative elections. Instead of being limited to picking just one 
 candidate\, you can score as many candidates as you like\, showing your 
 preference order and your level of support for the options.  STAR Voting 
 empowers voters to express their views and opinions more accurately\, 
 ensures that voters are able to vote their conscience without wasting 
 their vote\, combats polarization\, and does a better job at electing 
 winners who actually represent the will of the people.\n\nEnjoy a casual 
 group ride and chat with STAR Voting volunteers about why STAR is 
 different from other voting methods\, how elections can be tools for 
 understanding majority opinion and consensus-building\, and what lets STAR
  elections cut through the gotchas that keep us trapped in a two-party 
 system.\nleaving City Hall at 11:30 toward Multco Courthouse\nEnds at 
 Multnomah Building (SE Hawthorne &
