Frequently Asked Questions
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) allows voters to rank candidates by preference instead of choosing just one. It works like this:
1st Choice: The candidate you love.
2nd choice: The candidate you like.
3rd or 4th choice: The candidate you like slightly less.
5th choice: The candidate you can stand.
You can rank up to 5 candidates, as many or as few as you’d like.
- More choice, more power!
- Even if your favorite candidate doesn’t win, you still have a say in who’s elected.
- You can vote your conscience without worrying that you’re wasting your vote or electing a candidate you don’t like.
- Ranking a 2nd, 3rd, etc. choice will never hurt your favorite candidate.
Ranked Choice Voting is easy! Instead of choosing just one candidate, you can rank them, from your first choice to your fifth.
Find the name of your first choice and fill in the oval next to their name in the “1st Choice” column. Then find the name of your second choice, and fill in the oval next to their name in the “2nd Choice” column. Continue until you have ranked all the candidates you choose to rank, up to five.
Your vote will count only once for that candidate, so it doesn’t help their chances of winning. If they are defeated in a round, you don’t have any backup choices to be counted in later rounds. It does not help your favorite candidate to rank them more than once.
