Election Day

RANKED CHOICE VOTING
• Pick your first-choice candidate and completely fill in the oval next to their name under the 1st column.
• If you have a second-choice candidate, fill in the oval next to their name under the 2nd column.
• You can rank up to 5 candidates. You can still choose to vote for only one candidate if you prefer. Ranking other candidates does not harm your first choice.
• Don't rank a candidate more than once
• Don't rank a candidate you don't like
• Do not give multiple candidates the same ranking. If you choose more than one candidate as your first choice, your vote for that ballot item will not be valid.
• Candidates win if they receive more than 50% +1 of first-choice votes. If no candidate receives more than 50% first-choice votes, RCV comes into play.
