Boston has a “Top Two” system for mayor and council district races. In the general election, you have only two choices, and you can choose just one.

With Ranked Choice Voting, we can make a “Top Four” system. Instead of advancing two candidates from the preliminary, we advance four. In the general election, you will be able to rank up to four candidates for every contest.

Ballot marking will be the same when voting for the mayor, district councilors, and even at-large councilors.

This simple, yet powerful reform will strengthen our democracy.

Ranked choice voting (RCV) is a reform that seeks to make elections fairer for voters. Unlike most American elections, which only allow voters to select one candidate, RCV gives voters the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third, and so on. In the single-winner version of RCV, if a candidate receives more than half of voters’ first choices, that candidate wins, just like in any other election. However, if there is no majority winner after counting first choices, the race is decided by an “instant runoff.” The candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and voters who picked that candidate as “No. 1” will have their votes count for their next choice. This process continues until there is a majority winner – a candidate who earns more than half of the votes.
