Ranked Choice Voting - LEGO Edition

Written By Liz White

Tabulating votes with Ranked Choice Voting is always easier to understand with a visual! This is our current favorite way to illustrate the instant runoff system.

@nycvotes Boss: How should we explain Ranked Choice Voting? Us: Legos. NYC's June 27 primary election is a Ranked Choice election! If City Council is on your ballot, you can rank your top five choices in order of preference instead of choosing just one. 💚Fun fact: We held a mini election in our office with these colors - green won! #HowTo #NYCPrimary #NYCPolitics #NYC ♬ original sound - nycvotes
