Independent Voter News covered our presentation at the Buffalo Charter Review Commission, "Unite NY presented its proposals for ranked choice voting (RCV), open primaries, and ballot access reform before the Buffalo Charter Review Commission last week – giving the city an opportunity to lead on more choice election reform in New York.
