Fixing the process by which we decide who runs the government and crafts the policy that ultimately addresses every other issue, from zoning to emissions to pandemic response, sure seems like an effective focus to me. With the latest win in St Louis, I think the Center for Election Science is poised to take off like a rocket.
We may have a campaign in 2021 (our initial play is riskier here), but we can’t say yet for sure. We have other cities lined up for 2022. What I can say is all the cities we have in mind are over 750,000 people and are all very well known. We’ve laid out a strategic plan involving polling and legal analysis to factor in where to prioritize given our available funding. We’re working for a surprise win in 2021 to excite our funders.
It’s exciting to see the tangible success CES has made. And I think that repeatedly making the case for one big simple idea clearly, approval voting, is a powerful formula.
If “effective localism” existed, think approval voting would top the list for impactful reforms someone could take in their community, with zoning reform being a distant second for most communities.

I’m impressed with the success you guys had! I’m excited to see your organization develop.
Thanks! We look forward to continuing our impact. I’m always impressed with our team and what we’re able to do with our resources.

Thanks! You’re right. There’s so much to be said for making an approach as simple as possible.
