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>
