THE

PLAN

All candidates, from all parties, are on the same primary election ballot.
Their party affiliation is listed next to their name.
All registered voters can vote.
Voters rank their preferred candidates using the existing ranked choice voting system.

“Just like in Special Elections that NYC already has.”

“It makes the system fair to all voters and candidates. Everyone is treated the same.”

“The cream rises to the top and ensures a diversity of candidates.”

In a Top 2 system, the winner of the General Election is determined by receiving a simple majority of votes.
In a Top 3, Top 4, or Top 5 system, the winner is determined by receiving a majority of voters using ranked choice voting.

“RCV moves from the Primary to the General Election. It works just like Special Elections.”
