Subject: Curious About Rank Choice Voting?
From: League of Women Voters of Sonoma County



We've talked about this before, but here is another program from one of our associate groups. 


Join Braver Angels San FranciscoonSaturdayMay 20, 11am - 1pm viaZoomfor a deep dive intoan alternate voting method, Ranked Choice Voting.

We have put together a panel of 5 people who reflect a wide range of knowledge and opinions about Ranked Choice Voting - including the sector that “hasn’t thought about it much.” Become better informed!

We will explore the following questions:

  • Why do some people object to RCV?
  • How does RCV help minimize partisan rhetoric?
  • Does RCV increase the possibility that an unqualified candidate could be elected with a small percentage of the popular vote? How could this happen?
  • Does converting to an open primary process work in concert with RCV?
  • RCV is frequently described as “complicated”. Is it?
  • Does RCV cost communities more money to run an election?

As Americans continue to have concerns about how to ensure trustworthy elections, lets not overlook how a voting method itself can affect voter confidence and outcomes.
