Ranked Choice Voting, also known as RCV, is an election system where voters rank candidates on a numerical scale from their top favorite to their least favorite.
But who wins? The candidate with at least 50 percent of the vote wins. But what if nobody gets 50% of the vote?
With RCV, the computer system will calculate which candidate had the least number of votes and reassign those votes to the voters’ next choice. If that second round of tallying still doesn’t produce a candidate with 50% of the vote, the cycle is repeated in a third round. And, if necessary, a fourth round.
Didn’t choose a second favorite candidate? If you did not completely fill out your ballot and the system needs your next choice candidate, then your ballot is considered exhausted. That means with each passing round, less people actually have a say in who is elected. So much for every vote counting!
Vote no on #3! Your opinion matters, and your vote should count. Before our election system becomes a confusing mess that strips you of your vote, stand up against ranked choice voting!
