A new system of ranked-choice voting will transform New York City’s elections, including this year s race for mayor. Now it’s about to get its first test: early voting
Instead of picking one candidate, voters
will choose up to five, ranking them in order of preference. If a candidate gets a majority of first-choice votes, they win and that’s the end of it. But if no one does, a computerized system eliminates the last-place candidate and parcels out their votes to the second choice. The process repeats itself until someone gets a majority.
