The 2023 elections may not have the fireworks of 2024, but there is still plenty up for grabs. In this"off-year," most of which takes place on Nov. 7, Virginia will be keenly watched, particularly by followers of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and whether he can springboard Republican success into national aspirations. Meanwhile, the governor's mansion is up for grabs in Kentucky and Mississippi.
During the first round, votes are tallied for each candidate based on voters’ first choice. If no candidate receives 50% of the vote, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated. “The key differences are the winner has to have a majority,” said Kelleen Potter, executive director of Ranked Choice Voting Utah. “ don't have to strategize and say, ‘I want to vote for that person, but the polls say that they're not in the lead. I don't know if I'm wasting my vote.’ They're able to vote for whoever they want.
As the former mayor of Heber City in Utah, Potter said the plurality voting system forces candidates to be “incentivized to make people not like the other people to make people only vote for you.” “It created different dynamics with voters where you can actually try to break some of those barriers and say, ‘I'm also here to make a positive impact in my community,’” said Salt Lake City Council Member Alejandro Puy, who was first elected in 2021 through a ranked choice voting election. “We need to start talking to each other. We need to find common ground, and we need to realize that we're sort of pulling very similar directions.
More than half the states in the country are currently considering legislation that would advance ranked choice voting, with another five states already passing bills allowing municipalities to use the method in their local elections.
