Meet the Big Apple Book Ballot candidates
The June primary is just around the corner, and when New Yorkers get to their polling place this year they'll be confronted with a new type of ballot, one that allows you to rank your top five choices — welcome to the era of ranked-choice voting in NYC.
To help New Yorkers get acquainted with the new method, we've been hosting some practice elections. You may recall that in February, Mayor Lenny of
Ghostbusters won our race for Fictional Mayor of NYC, after which we provided a breakdown of how his victory played out through several rounds. For our next practice election, we've teamed up with the New York Public Library for the Big Apple Book Ballot, which will decide once and for all on the greatest NYC-centric novel of all time.
