New York City’s mayoral primary is using ranked-choice voting, a system that allows voters to rank their top five candidates, which is unfamiliar to many voters.
The system is gaining popularity in the US, with over 45 cities and two states using it, but critics argue it’s too complicated and violates the principle of one person, one vote.
Proponents say ranked-choice voting rewards broadly liked candidates, encourages less nasty campaigns, and promotes representation of underrepresented groups, but it may take multiple rounds to determine a winner.
