To supporters of RankedChoiceVoting, the system is akin to choosing 'who you really love, who you like, and who you can live with.'
two potential solutions to fix this problem: Move the municipal election from May to April and keep the runoff in June; or switch to an instant runoff system, aka ranked-choice voting.
But that method — called the Bucklin Method — is different from the modern-day ranked-choice voting system being implemented across the U.S. The Bucklin method, which originated in Grand Junction, actually allowed for situations in which there were more votes than voters. The method has largely fallen out of favor.
"It just gives voters an ability to have a say in a different way. It gives them more choices in the process, especially when you have a huge field of candidates. When you don’t do that, money wins the day. Whoever can get the most money for TV, it kind of becomes like a popularity contest rather than an actual election," says McReynolds, whose proposal of a possible ranked-choice voting system during her tenure as elections director didn't gain any traction with Denver leadership.
In 2021, Denver City Council ultimately opted against referring a ranked-choice voting measure to the ballot for voter approval, Instead, the legislative body referred a measure to the ballot to switch the election date from May to April, which voters ended up approving.
