How does Ranked Choice Voting work?

You can rank up to five candidates in order of preference, instead of choosing just one. If a candidate receives more than 50% of 1st-choice votes, they are the winner. If no candidate earns more than 50% of 1st-choice votes, then counting will continue in rounds. At the end of each round, the candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated. If you ranked that candidate 1st, your vote will go to the next highest ranked candidate on your ballot. This process will continue until there are two candidates left. The candidate with the most votes wins. Learn more about Ranked Choice Voting

순위 선택 투표는 어떻게 진행되나요?

후보자를 하나만 선택하는 대신 선호도에 따라 최대 5명의 후보자 순위를 표기할 수 있습니다. 후보자가 1순위 투표의 50% 이상을 받으면 당선됩니다. 1순위 투표의 50% 이상을 얻은 후보자가 없는 경우, 라운드별로 집계가 계속됩니다. 각 라운드가 끝나면 가장 적은 표를 얻은 후보자가 탈락됩니다. 귀하가 그 후보자를 1순위로 표기했다면 귀하의 표는 투표용지에서 다음으로 높은 순위의 후보자에게 돌아갑니다. 두 명의 후보가 남을 때까지 이 절차가 계속됩니다. 가장 많은 표를 얻은 후보가 당선됩니다.
