On July 9, the staff of the New York City Charter Revision Commission issued a 66-page report, making certain recomendations for changes in the city charter. Some of the recommendations concern election law.
The Report recommends use of Instant Runoff Voting for partisan primaries for the three citywide offices. The Report says that IRV should also be studied for partisan primaries for city council and borough president races. The Report also recommends that the number of signatures for candidates to get on primary ballots, and also the number of signatures for getting on general election ballots, should be reduced by 50%. These recommendations are in Part II.
The Report, in Part V, discusses the idea that New York city should use non-partisan elections, but makes no recommendation about that idea. Thanks to Rob Richie for the link.
