Your Vote Matters

It seems like forever since San Francisco held its first ranked choice election, some would argue with mixed results.  Ranked choice voting (the locally preferred name for instant runoff voting) is used to conduct municipal elections in several Bay Area cities.  The Gate has already given their endorsements. Oakland and San Leandro in 2010 used the instant runoff system in elections for mayor and other city offices, with the Oakland mayoral race receiving extensive coverage in national media and confirming the win for Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, the city’s first female mayor. Berkeley also used ranked choice voting in 2010 to elect several city offices.

There can be a lot of information to sort through, but remember: YOUR VOTE MATTERS
