Woodland Hills, Utah County
Advocates of ranked-choice voting, which is also known as an instant runoff election, view it as an election alternative that could help improve voting participation because it offers a better possibility for lesser-known candidates to be considered. In Utah elections to date, winners are determined by most votes received, even if an individual doesn t receive more than half of the votes in an election.
In ranked-choice voting, all of the candidates are placed on a ballot. Instead of selecting one candidate, the ballot instructs voters to rank their candidates from first to last. If everyone s top candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, that candidate wins; otherwise, it goes through a process of elimination in the counting process until one candidate has over 50%.
