The Los Angeles League of Women Voters advocates Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) for all single-winner elections. The League has adopted IRV into its local advocacy program and discusses its decision in a recent newsletter. (http://lwvlosangeles.org/files/voter_may08.pdf)

According to the League's IRV Program Chair, David Holtzman, "Now that IRV is being considered for the Council, our League will advocate using it for all city elections."

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 individualcandidate or political party.
