Mission and programs · 2024

• Legislative Advocacy:In 2024, FairVote Minnesota continued to make meaningful progress toward statewide ranked choice voting (RCV). Building on the legislative study authorized in 2023, which included examination of statewide RCV, we advanced the RCV Local Options bill through the Minnesota House, falling just two votes short of passage. This near-success positions the bill well for future legislative cycles and strengthens momentum for expanding local authority to adopt RCV.Bloomington Repeal DefenseA major 2024 highlight was the successful defense of RCV in Bloomington, following a well-funded repeal attempt. Working with local organizers, volunteers, and community partners, we helped ensure voters had accurate information about RCV. In November, Bloomington voters decisively rejected the repeal measure, reaffirming strong public support for fair, representative local elections.

  Expenses $478,662

• Public Outreach and Engagement:We hosted a pre-session legislative kickoff with state leaders and lobbyists, expanded our digital engagement, and ran multiple online fundraising efforts. In 2024, our digital reach included:750,000 impressions on Twitter (X)250,000 users reached on Facebook150,000 users reached on Instagram

  Expenses $91,669 · Revenue $500

• Electoral Program:We engaged in the 2024 legislative campaigns by awarding our "Democracy Badge" to candidates publicly supporting RCV and organizing supporters at precinct caucuses and party conventions to elevate RCV as a key democracy reform priority.Coalition-building:We continued to engage our coalition partners and expand our partnership with several key union and community organizations.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
