The City of London is considering adopting a different method of voting for the municipal election next year. Instead of first-past-the-post, they’re looking at ranked choice ballots. You rank your first, second and third choices instead of choosing just one and the ones with the fewest votes are eliminated, until a clear winner emerges.
I’m not for or against this system. I don’t have a strong feeling either way. But I do have powerful, positive feelings about being the voice of the city’s video that explains it! This is posted on the City of London website and played at the public information meetings about ranked choice voting.
The city of London has often been a key location for trying out new things and products and it would be interesting to see how this idea works out.
