30 min
The Council will be briefed about an option for the 2023 municipal election to participate
in the State-authorized Municipal Alternative Voting Method Pilot Program project,
otherwise known as ranked choice voting or instant runoff voting. Discussion will include
how the ranked choice voting process worked for the 2021 municipal election, relevant
bills in the Legislature’s 2022 General Session, candidate feedback and public education
efforts.
Under ranked choice voting, voters rank the candidates in order of preference. Election
equipment tabulates the preference numbers for each ballot. If none of the candidates
receive more than 50% of the overall vote after the first round of tabulation, the
candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated. The voters who had selected the
eliminated candidate as their first choice would then have their votes tabulated for their
second-choice candidate. This process of elimination continues until a candidate crosses
the 50% threshold and is declared the winner.
