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

Kijan Vote pa Chwa Preferansyèl fonksyone?

Ou ka klase jiska senk kandida nan lòd preferans, olye pou w chwazi youn sèlman. Si yon kandida resevwa plis pase 50% nan vòt 1ye chwa yo, se yo ki genyen. Si pa gen okenn kandida ki genyen plis pase 50% nan vòt 1ye chwa, lè sa a konte yo ap kontinye nan tou yo. Nan fen chak tou, kandida a ki gen mwens vòt la pral elimine. Si w te klase kandida sa a 1ye, vòt ou a ap ale pou pwochen kandida ki pi wo a nan bilten vòt ou a. Pwosesis sa a ap kontinye jiskaske gen de kandida ki rete. Kandida ki gen plis vòt la genyen.
