The Voters' Bill of Rights

 

 

 

 

As the last election made painfully clear, many people are not
allowed to vote and the votes of many people are ignored. To address
this, the second annual Progressive Dialogue conference held in
Washington, DC in December of 2000 launched a Pro-Democracy Campaign
and came up with a ten point platform dubbed a Voters' Bill of
Rights: <http://ippn.org/BofR.htm>

The Campaign has now been endorsed by 90 progressive organizations:

The Voters' Bill of Rights calls for:
1. Strict Enforcement and Extension of the Voting Rights Act
2. Abolition of the Electoral College
3. Clean Money Elections
4. Instant Runoff Voting
5. Proportional Representation
6. Voting Rights for Former Prisoners
7. Make Voting Easier and More Reliable
8. Easier Access to the Ballot, the Media and Debates for Candidates
9. Create Independent and Non-Partisan Election Administration Bodies
10. Statehood for District of Columbia
