Philadelphia City Council will explore ranked-choice voting for the city.
”This allows us to have a conversation
Council passed a resolution to hold hearings on the system, in which voters select candidates in order of preference: First choice, second choice, third choice and so on.
Sponsor Derek Greene said he doesn’t have a position on the system, but thinks it’s worth exploring.
“This allows us to have a conversation, see how New York got the process done, how other cities are doing ranked choice voting,” said Greene.
“Even in our presidential election in 2016 and 2020, we didn’t have the turnout we should have had in Philadelphia, so any way to create additional energy in voting, I think that’s something we should look at.
