The League of Women Voters of McLean County will likely launch a study later this year into the benefits and drawbacks of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for elections.
Educational Program Committee Chair Laurie Bergner says on the face of it, ranked choice voting appears to be a good idea to promote voter engagement and voter turnout because, in her words, “This helps every vote count.”
During an online Zoom event Wednesday hosted by the McLean County League, Jim Parr from the nonpartisan, nonprofit group FairVoteIllinois said ranked choice voting offers the ability to rank candidates on a ballot in order of preference instead of simply choosing one. Currently in Illinois, we have a system where candidates are elected by a plurality of votes rather than majority rule when the candidate gets 50% + 1 to be elected.

During Tuesday’s debate between Normal Mayor Chris Koos and challenger Marc Tiritilli, the two candidates found themselves in a familiar place: The upcoming April 6 election marks the second time they ve faced off.
Back in 2017, Koos won his fourth term by just 11 votes over Tiritilli, who works at Illinois Wesleyan University.
But this year, besides the usual issues facing municipalities such as leadership on financial matters and economic development issues the candidates also are in a microcosm of a U.S. political landscape scarred by a divisive presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic and a society facing a long history of police brutality.
