Local organizations for approval voting

From electowiki
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Activism. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2020.

This page was created in 2006 in hopes of assembling a list of organizations interested specifically in the adoption of approval voting. As of 2020-03-31, this list is outdated.

United States of America

National

In 2006, a national organization exists called Citizens for Approval Voting, <http://www.approvalvoting.org>. They had an active discussion group on Yahoo, which was available at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ApprovalVoting/>. Since Yahoo groups isn't a thing, that list has moved. approvalvoting.org now redirects to the website for The Center for Election Science .
