IRV -- Aspen Reconsiders on November 3 (Don't Forget to Vote)
October 14
DON’T FORGET THAT 61 CENTS POSTAGE IS REQUIRED ON YOUR RETURN BALLOT
Aspen voters will tell City Hall how they feel about continuing to use the IRV method for municipal elected office, which was used for the first time in May.
Whether or not you liked the outcome, you probably have views on the methodology. Did you understand it? Do you know whether yours was one of the 17% of the ballots not counted in the Council race runoff?
This site will be used to collect information and opinions regarding IRV and the upcoming advisory vote in November’s mail in ballot election. DON’T FORGET THAT 61 CENTS POSTAGE IS REQUIRED ON YOUR RETURN BALLOT. (that information is not on the ballot.)
October 14th Aspen Times has two columns expressing views on IRV. Please share your opinions. We encourage you to identify yourself and avoid screen names which can lead to irresponsible on line comments, which will be deleted. We’re happy for spirited, even controversial discussions. But we will insist that the comments remain on topic and avoid personal attacks.

I think the key is looking at ways for Aspen to get more information out to folks, as again, the point is that any election should have consequences and you want people to be informed of those consequences.
