Ranked Choice Voting
It's as simple as 1, 2, 3
|
Ranked choice voting (RCV) replaces low-turnout primaries and divisive runoffs with one high turnout general election. Voters rank candidates in order of preference and elect the winner in an "instant runoff" between the two strongest candidates.
In Oakland, RCV is used to elect the Mayor, City Council members, City Attorney, City Auditor, and School Board members. On November 4th, ranked choice voting will be used to elect the Mayor, City Auditor, District 2 City Councilmember, District 4 City Councilmember, District 6 City Councilmember, and School Board members from Districts 2, 4, and 6. |
