The League of Women Voters of Los Angeles has endorsed Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) and advocates IRV for all single-winner, local elections in Greater Los Angeles.

"We are very excited by the Los Angeles League's endorsement of IRV," said Gautam Dutta of New America Foundation. "We salute the Los Angeles League for its history of effort and success in government change such as charter reform which makes our leaders more accountable," Dutta added.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government. The League influences public policy through education and advocacy, but never supports or opposes an individual candidate or political party.
