MONTCLAIR, NJ — The Montclair Town Council passed a symbolic resolution in favor of ranked choice voting in municipal and school board elections at their meeting on Tuesday.
The resolution supports a proposed state law, S-1622 / A-4042, which would allow towns and cities in New Jersey to make ranked choice voting available for local elections if they choose to do so (read the full resolution below, or view it online here ).
”To increase awareness
Montclair’s resolution also “supports the commitment of state resources to increase awareness of ranked choice voting and public education as to the ranked choice voting process.”
Nonpartisan nonprofit Voter Choice NJ praised the Montclair town council for taking a stand for ranked choice voting, noting that other towns that have show support with resolutions include Hoboken, Jersey City, Red Bank, Princeton, Maplewood and South Orange.
