We need your help to get Ranked Choice Voting
📅 Tuesday August 4th, 2026 🕐 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM 📍 Florin Creek Park, 7460 Persimmon Ave, Sacramento, CA 95823
Better Ballot Sacramento will be collecting petition signatures at National Night Out Southgate Recreation & Park District, a community event put on by the Southgate Recreation & Park District.
About This Event
Better Ballot Sacramento is getting active in the Parkway Neighborhoods! Tuesday August 4th from 5:00 PM, we are talking with our neighbors in the Parkway Neighborhoods. We are meeting at the corner of Enrique Ct and Persimmon Ave 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! National Night Out is an event to build connections between our neighbors, local businesses, and law enforcement to strengthen our community. There will be vendors, live entertainment, a free food, and more!
What To Expect
Arrive by 5:00 PM at Florin Creek Park, the corner of Enrique Ct and Persimmon Ave, 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 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 5:30 PM. If you are only able to arrive after 5:30 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 already in a social setting.
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.
