Description

Some Albany residents want to bring Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) to the City, just as NYC has done for primary elections. In RCV, voters rank candidates in order of preference. To win, a candidate needs 50% plus 1. If no candidate has a majority on the first round, the lowest-ranked candidate is eliminated, and their voters' second choice is counted. This process continues until someone wins. Danny Boudreau, co-chair of the local campaign, discusses RCV with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
