Ranked-choice voting explained: How it works and why it matters
Ranked-choice voting allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference — first, second, and third choices. When counting, if a candidate gets more than 50% of first-choice votes, they win. If not, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and those ballots transfer to voters’ next choices. This continues in rounds until a candidate reaches a majority. FOX 9 reporter Soyoung Kim breaks it down for us.
