Upvotes
Please join us on Tuesday, October 27th from 5-7 pm PST to discuss Ranked Choice Voting and Irvine's Measure D proposal). Participating in answering your questions will be members of Voter Choice Irvine and CalRCV (California Ranked Choice Voting Coalition).
The intent is to engage with the broader Orange County community with an informational, policy-focused discussion grounded in published research and the experience of jurisdictions that use RCV.
Topics we're glad to cover:
- What Irvine's Measure D would do, and how it would work for Irvine voters
- How instant runoff voting (aka: RCV) works, including how ballots are counted
- Which California cities and counties use RCV, and how implementation has gone
- The history of RCV in the U.S. and abroad
- Research on RCV's effects, including voter turnout, ballot errors, candidate behavior, representation, and cost
- Arguments for and against RCV, including common criticisms
- Any other RCV questions, including ones that are critical of it
Feel free to comment your questions in advance, or during the AMA 2-hour duration itself.
Thank you!
