Thank you for your interest in getting involved in Illinois!
Most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea, make at least some use of Ranked Choice Voting or Proportional Representation, and thus have more than two parties represented. Even some countries who do use winner take all, such as Canada and the UK, also have more than two parties represented due to much fairer ballot access requirements. Canada, for instance, requires 100 signatures to run for a seat in their national parliament. Here in Illinois, the signature requirement for third parties and Independents is around 1,500 for state legislature, 15,000 for the House and 25,000 for the Senate. (author: Joshua Hellman)
We are working on building local campaigns throughout IL. It is time to give people of all parties political choice. With the Illinois Green Party, it is a political choice based on the 10 key values. Contact ILGP here.
