Ranked choice voting, council vacancy replacements and the importance of voting.
The San Jose City Council will decide on Monday whether to fill two upcoming vacancies by disenfranchising about one-fifth of the city’s voters.
An Antioch race decided by just three votes, in which the winner garnered support of barely a third of her district’s electorate, will determine the balance of power on the badly fractured City Council.And the race for one of the seats on the Richmond City Council ended in a tie. before Judge Michael Markman since June. By the time it’s resolved, the outcome will probably have no practical effect, as Brown’s term is about to run out.Under ranked choice, voters prioritize their picks. If no candidate wins a majority in the first round, the last-place finisher is eliminated. The votes of those who had listed the dropped candidate as their first choice are then reallocated to the voters’ second choice.
