We need your help to get Ranked Choice Voting
Better Ballot Sacramento will be collecting petition signatures at Jazz in July, a community event put on by the South Pocket Homeowners Association.
📅 Friday July 24th, 2026 🕐 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM 📍 Richard Marriott Park, 1235 Grand River Dr, Sacramento, CA 95831
About This Event
Better Ballot Sacramento is getting active in The Pocket! Friday July 24th from 5:30 PM, we are talking with our neighbors in the South Pocket. We are meeting at the corner of Roman Oak Way and Grand River Drive to conduct a short training on efficiency and courteous canvassing before breaking off into singles and pairs to talk to our neighbors about Ranked Choice Voting!
What To Expect
Arrive by 5:30 PM at Richard Marriott Park, the corner of Roman Oak Way and Grand River Drive, for a quick volunteer huddle and provide a signature gathering training. We'll walk you through a simple script, hand you a clipboard and FAQ sheet, and get you set up to chat with our neighbors. No experience needed — the script takes five minutes to learn and you'll be paired with an experienced volunteer. We provide clipboards, petition sheets, pens, literature, and League of Women Voter pins. You just bring comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a water bottle. We’re planning to be out actively canvassing from 6:00 PM. If you are only able to arrive after 6:00 PM, then one of our organizers will provide you with a brief training on canvassing.
Why It Matters
We're building toward one goal: a Ranked Choice Voting measure on the November 2028 ballot. Every signature gets us closer. RCV means majority winners, one higher-turnout election, and 100,000 more Sacramento voters having a say. Event canvassing gives us a unique opportunity to meet folks where they are and talk to them when they are most social.
Can’t Make It Out To This Event?
We are out canvassing everyday, especially on weekends and often have volunteers at events gathering signatures. We’d love to see you at another event in the future. If you’re interested in learning more about Ranked Choice Voting, our campaign, or how you could get involved please email us at info@betterballotsacramento.org, call or text us at (916) 245-0449 to talk to our team, or attend our Weekly Volunteer Training every Monday at 6:30PM over Zoom.
