Over the next few weeks, you will hear a lot about Rank Choice Voting<\/strong>, in a typical voting system each voter chooses their preferred candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins. With rank choice voting, voters have the ability to select all candidates and rank them in their most favorable order. If your first candidate doesn’t receive enough votes, your vote goes onto the next candidate – this process continues until one candidate wins a majority of votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rank choice voting allows voters to have more confidence in their elected officials as the winners have a majority of the public’s confidence. Check out this video<\/a>, and this video<\/a> if you want to learn more about the rank choice voting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
