Ranked Choice Voting Ballot Measures Passed in Seven Localities

On November 8, voters in seven localities passed ballot measures to use ranked choice voting. Notably, in two of those jurisdictions, the measure calls for single transferable vote, which is a form of proportional representation. Those two places were Portland, Oregon, and Portland, Maine.

The other localities were: (1) Seattle, Washington; (2) Multnomah County, Oregon, for county office; (3) Evanston, Illinois; (4) Fort Collins, Colorado; (5) Ojai, California. Evanston is the first city in Illinois to adopt ranked choice voting.
