* A candidate must receive a majority of valid votes to be elected. If no candidate reaches a majority of first choice votes, an instant runoff is triggered. The ballots marked first choice for candidate(s) with the fewest first choice votes are reviewed to see if they selected a second choice. If so, those ballots are redistributed to their second choice candidate. If their second choice is defeated or if they did not select a second choice, those ballots are declared “exhausted.”

*Proposal for Instant Runoff Voting. Text as follows:

The City Charter now provides that the candidate receiving the largest number of votes for each office is elected to that office, even if that candidate does not have a majority of votes. A runoff election is held only in the event of a tie vote.

The City Council should amend the Charter: to adopt an instant runoff voting system that allows voters to rank candidates in order of choice (1, 2, 3, and so on) to produce a majority vote for a candidate without a runoff election in the event that no candidate receives a majority of the first choices.
