not quite as in debt as the data is today. what i am doing is trying to figure out the best way to present the information, but still have available to us. we have four types of voting systems, rank choice voting, used for all city offices, plurality voting, used for most other offices, the multi- candidate voting, which is the school board, and humidity college board, and then the simple yes/no voting, which are used on ballot measures and some judges racist. we try to figure out and some judge races. we re trying to compare the current systems, how people vote in november, compared with how many people voted under the old run off system, which is where i first target. the information is not as thorough as the old days. before rank choice voting got put into place, the department of elections only tracked if somebody voted and the ballot was counted, and all of the people who did not have their ballots counted either because they under voted or over voted. i put together t
have a higher percentage of that amount. something i want to point out, the city attorney s race, very high in the first column run off, 12%, partly because there was an open seat in the runoff, and you have never had a net and seat in the rank choice voting, so its use those numbers. i did the exact same thing with all of the supervisor races. the 2000 elections, there were some minor changes because of redistricting. there was not very much, it was not very large, so i did not view that as a major issue. the same type of comparisons, all races, regardless of run off, incumbents, or open seats, and then just compare open seats. it is interesting that all of the open seat races that you have the ability to compare, all of them are rank choice voted in favor. even incumbent against incumbent, rank choice voting when possible is the way to get a better level of participation in the election. then what i want to after that was looking at some of the discussion that has been goin

may have. i think it s important to provide the additional analysis in terms of what happens in terms of the over voting in rank choice voting as opposed to other systems because i think the way it s been presented here, it s to suggest that there is something inherently different about the rank choice voting system that over-voting happens in certain communities. the fact is that you have over-voting happening irrespective of what system you use. correct. there might be differences but i think it s good to provide that information because, you know, to the extent that there is over-voting that takes place, it goes beyond what system you use so it s not necessarily unique to rank choice voting and i think it s important to note that. that is very correct. getting into the voting, how people actually vote actually does also make a difference, as well. there are systems out there that we re not currently using in the city but are potentially available and some need appr
