ALBANY, N.Y. – As the election season approaches, a grassroots group says it’s working to make voting more accessible and representative for residents. Unite NY recently organized an informal session in Albany, aiming to demystify ranked choice voting, an approach increasingly in the spotlight across New York.
“If you really believe in someone but aren’t sure they can win, you can put them first and another as a backup,” explained David Green, statewide organizer for Unite NY.
”Better and fairer
Supporters, like Dorian Solot of Ranked Choice Voting Albany, say the process boosts fairness and makes elections more representative.
“It’s a better and fairer, more representative system of voting. Really easy for people to learn how to use,” Solot said.
