We need you to Email, Call, And Come To City Hall:

Start Here: Email all council members to support RCV

At the next Jersey City Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 10th at 6 PM, the council will vote on a Ranked-Choice Voting Trigger Ordinance (Ord. 24-017) that, if passed, will pave the way for residents to use RCV in local elections if they choose to.

What’s more, the passage of the RCV trigger ordinance by “America’s Golden Door” and the second-largest city in New Jersey, will signal to state legislators that people want RCV for a fairer, more representative, and inclusive democracy.

You can help change the way Jersey City votes by urging the City Council to join Mayor Fulop and support the ranked-choice voting trigger ordinance. Here’s how you can raise your voice for maximum impact:

  • Important: Email the City Council using this template here by Friday, April 5th. (Click Above)
  • More Important: Call your individual council member by Tuesday, April 9th. (See below for phone numbers and a sample script.)
  • Most Important:  Come to City Hall on Wednesday, April 10th to speak or show your support in fellowship with VCNJ, community organizations, and individual supporters. To anyone who RSVPs, a VCNJ organizer will follow up with you by email for more details and next steps.

SAMPLE CALL SCRIPT

Hello! My name is [YOUR NAME] from Jersey City. At the City Council meeting on April 10th, I am asking you to vote yes on Ranked-Choice Voting Trigger Ordinance 24-017. 

I support ranked-choice voting because it improves the voter experience, reduces toxic partisanship and the need for strategic voting, and it eliminates the need for costly run-off elections.  

Thank you.

 

Thanks again, every call makes a big difference.
