SUMMARY:Voting\, Government\, and You
CONTACT:Eric Wilhelm
DESCRIPTION:Pedal 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
