Ranked Choice Voting Has Bitten the Big Apple

From Fair Vote‘s Adam Ginsburg:

With awareness of ranked choice voting (RCV) skyrocketing after successful implementation in Maine, cities and states across the country are weighing potential adoption of the system. Among these, New York City stands out for its sheer size and demographic, political, and cultural significance.

The 2019 New York City Charter Commission, tasked with revising and updating the city’s laws, is considering implementing RCV in citywide municipal elections. If the Charter Commission officially recommends the policy, voters will be able to to vote directly for the initiative on the November ballot. If ratified, New York City would be the largest municipality in America to adopt RCV.

Among the city leaders who have supported RCV are former Public Advocate (and current state Attorney General) Letitia James, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, City Comptroller Scott Stringer, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, and Council member Brad Lander.
