As the nation
braces for the upcoming election, SoCo Creamery will host its own election
starting Friday (October 26) at 5pm and running through Sunday (October 28). At
SoCo, you can vote early, often and your vote will make a difference.
SoCo
will sample six free new ice cream flavors. You vote on your favorites. As you
exercise your right to vote, you will experience Ranked Choice Voting, an
innovative reform that could transform politics in America.
“Goodness
gracious, we need to try something different than what we’ve got now,” says
Erik Bruun, owner of SoCo. “We are absolutely delighted to work with Voter
Choice Massachusetts to add some fun and good taste to the vitally important,
if normally dreary, topic of electoral reform.”
Meghan Molinari of Voter Choice Massachusetts introduced the idea of an
ice cream election to SoCo as a way to spread the word about ranked choice
voting (RCV). With RCV instead of just voting for one candidate, you can rank
them in the order you prefer them—first choice, second choice, third choice and
so on.
