On Monday, March 5, the Colorado Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee will hear SB 83. It gives qualified minor parties more freedom to nominate whom they wish (current law won’t let them nominate someone who was a member of another party for the preceding year). It also expands the ability of people to circulate petitions in districts in which they don’t live.

On Thursday, March 15, the Vermont Senate Government Operations Committee will hear two hours of testimony on Instant-Runoff Voting.
