What is ranked-choice voting and where is it used?
Here s how it works: Cities that have ranked-choice voting, such as New York City, determine the winner of an election based on preference.
This preference includes a voter putting down the first choice, second choice, third choice, and so on for the winner. Voters can prefer to choose one person to vote for if they want.
