A chance to learn about and try Ranked Choice Voting (also known as Instant Runoff Voting, or IRV)
By Melinda Ivey
Published October 7th 2008 in Kansas City InfoZine
Kansas City, MO - infoZine - A new local organization, Kansas City for Ranked Choice Voting, has formed with the goal of amending the city charter to adopt ranked choice voting-also called Instant Runoff Voting-for all citywide elections in Kansas City, MO.
Ranked Choice Voting is a voting method in which voters rank their preference among all of the candidates running in a single election, and those preferences are counted until a candidate emerges with a majority of votes. The system eliminates the need for runoff elections, saving the city hundreds of thousands of dollars as the ranking method provides an "instant runoff" of the remaining candidates if no candidate receives over 50% of the voters' top choice.
The group will hold a "Re-Cast Your Ballot" event on November 13th at 7pm at the Plaza branch of the Kansas City Public Library. Attendees will learn about ranked choice voting and will be invited to re-cast their November vote using a ranked choice voting ballot. |
