Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) Comes To San Francisco
Steven Hill 30.APR.04
In November 2004, San Francisco voters will elect seven seats on the Board of Supervisors using ranked choice voting (RCV, also known as instant runoff voting). Proposition A, passed by San Francisco voters in March 2002, enacted ranked choice voting for all local offices, including mayor, district attorney, city attorney, treasurer, sheriff, public defender, and assessor (but not including school board and college board elections, which are governed by state law).
With a change to the electoral process like this, prospective candidates, political activists and insiders all want to know “how does RCV work?” And more specifically, “what’s in it for me and my constituency?” There has been much speculation about who gets hurt and who gets helped by this change.
