Ranked Choice Voting
Ranked Choice Voting is designed to answer a simple question:
Not just who has the most votes, but who has the broadest support.
Our members have been searching polls and opinions by valued political and other contributors to discern which candidate has the most support for the primary election on June 2 - to date there is no clear leader. So we decided perhaps a Ranked Choice Ballot might help our members discern a majority winner—the one candidate with more than half of the popular vote.
Please cast your “vote” HERE. Let’s see what happens!
These results will change as more people vote . . .
““Ranked choice voting (RCV) is an election method in which voters rank candidates for an office in order of their preference (first choice, second choice, third choice, and so on). If a candidate receives more than half of the first-choice votes, that candidate wins, just like in any other election.
”However, if there is no majority winner after counting first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and voters who ranked that candidate as their first choice will have their votes count toward their next choice. This process continues until a majority winner—a candidate with more than half of the vote—is determined.””
