UTAH — The Hideout Town Council is considering whether the town should change how it runs its elections in time for this November’s municipal races, when residents will vote for a mayor and two councilmembers.
”It almost trains us to think differently
Kelleen Potter is the executive director of Utah Ranked Choice Voting and the former mayor of Heber City. She told the Hideout council Thursday, Feb. 13, it’s an efficient and cost-effective way to run elections, especially for small towns.
“It almost trains us to think differently,” she said. “We get to say, gosh, I really like my friend for mayor. But if they don’t win, I have to look at the other candidates and say, well, who else supports parks and trails? Who else supports better public safety?”
