We recently tried in New Hampshire just for local votes, and just for municipalities who would like to do it, and the state still said no.</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RCV</span></a></p>

Alan McConchie<p>"With Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, Women Win"</p><p>Before 2021, New York’s 51-member council had always been majority male. Women hadn’t even gotten close to a majority. The best showing had been 18 seats, just a tick above 35 percent.</p><p>That all changed with ranked choice voting (RCV). In 2021, voters elected not only a women-majority council but nearly doubled the previous high, with 31 seats.</p><p><a href="https://thefulcrum.us/electoral-reforms/ranked-choice-voting-nyc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thefulcrum.us/electoral-reform</span><span class="invisible">s/ranked-choice-voting-nyc</span></a></p><p><a href="https://subdued.social/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RCV</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RankedChoiceVoting</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elections</span></a> <a href="https://subdued.social/tags/ElectoralReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectoralReform</span></a></p>
Kagan MacTane (he/him)<p>New Yorkers: Wondering how Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) works? If you hate Candidate X, should you rank them last, or not at all? Here's a good guide:</p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/06/21/how-ranked-choice-voting-will-shape-the-red-hot-nyc-mayoral-race/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2025/06/21/how-ranke</span><span class="invisible">d-choice-voting-will-shape-the-red-hot-nyc-mayoral-race/</span></a></p><p>TLDR: If you hate a candidate *don't rank them at all*. Take "1st choice, 2nd choice, etc." at face value. You don't have to rank 5; you can just do 1 or 2 if you like.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/NewYorkCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewYorkCity</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYC</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>election</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>voting</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/RankedChoiceVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RankedChoiceVoting</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RCV</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DemocraticPrimary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticPrimary</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/NYCPrimary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYCPrimary</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a></p>

Otis White<p>“This is ridiculous”: Ranked choice voting is the greatest step forward in U.S. elections since the Australian ballot. (Google it.) But <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/RCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RCV</span></a> comes with a downside. You mark your first, second, third, etc. choices … and then wait to see who won. And wait. And wait. Will we learn the results of Tuesday’s Oakland CA mayor’s race … by Friday evening? Or will it take weeks longer? <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/article/oakland-mayor-race-when-results-20279186.php" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sfchronicle.com/eastbay/articl</span><span class="invisible">e/oakland-mayor-race-when-results-20279186.php</span></a></p>
