Ranked-choice voting in NYC primaries prompts concerns: People are going to be confused

Ranked-choice voting in NYC primaries prompts concerns: ‘People are going to be confused’ © Provided by New York Daily News City Hall in lower Manhattan, New York. As New York City’s first foray into ranked-choice voting in primary elections approaches this June, concerns remain that last-minute efforts to educate the public may come up short.

It’s difficult to predict how the change will influence the surreal pandemic-plagued race for City Hall. But critics worry that the ballot-box wrinkle will muddy an already odd election, and the new system was whacked like a piñata at a City Council meeting in December.

Corey runs citywide, take two

Will Corey break the speaker curse? One might say that Corey Johnson already fell victim to the City Council speaker curse. After all, his run for mayor ended before it began, when he closed his fledgling campaign in September and became the latest speaker to unsuccessfully seek higher office after leading the city’s legislative body.

Now six months after opting out of the 2021 elections, Johnson is opting back in. He officially kicked off his campaign for New York City comptroller Tuesday with a press conference in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park. And with that, he’ll get a second shot at becoming the first speaker in the modern era to extend his life in electoral politics.
