The process lets voters list up to five candidates in order of preference, instead of picking just one candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A candidate must get more than 50% support to win. If no one hits that threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated. The ousted candidate\u2019s votes get redistributed to the voters\u2019 second choices. That will continue until only two candidates remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proponents say that the ranked-choice method <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/new-yorkers-will-soon-pick-a-new-mayor-practice-is-recommended-11621509883?mod=article_inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gives voters a greater say in who gets elected<\/a> and that it encourages candidates to appeal to a broad set of voters. But critics say that the system can be confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranked-choice voting has grown in popularity and has expanded to dozens of U.S. cities and some statewide elections, according to FairVote, an organization that promotes ranked-choice voting. New York City\u2019s primary will be the largest U.S. election to use ranked-choice voting, representing a major test for the method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/confused-by-nycs-ranked-choice-mayoral-primary-practice-with-bagels-11622631601\">https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/confused-by-nycs-ranked-choice-mayoral-primary-practice-with-bagels-11622631601<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City\u2019s primaries will be the largest U.S. election to use ranked-choice voting, representing a major test for the&#8230; ","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,14],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
