On Saturday, October 7, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1227, which lets Santa Clara County, the most populous county in northern California, use ranked choice voting for elections for county offices, which are all non-partisan.
This appears to be the first time that Newsom has signed a bill that promotes ranked choice voting. In the past he has repeatedly vetoed bills letting non-charter cities use RCV. Thanks to Jim Lindsay for this news.
