On December 13, Douglas Kellner, co-chair of the New York State Board of Elections, testified in a New York city council committee. He strongly recommended that the city implement ranked choice voting in citywide primaries. He said the existing city provision requiring a primary runoff would be terribly expensive and difficult to implement. He said the city was very lucky that no primary runoff was required this year in the Reform Party mayoral primary. Because the Reform Party invites all registered independent voters into its primaries, a Reform Party runoff would have required to city to print hundreds of thousands of ballots. See this story. He said if the city does not provide for ranked choice ballots, then the city should abolish primary runoffs. Thanks to Frank Morano for the link.
