Ranked-choice voting appears poised to be adopted in Seattle as November election results near certification, but city voters won’t feel the effects of the decision for up to five more years.
Seattle's Space Needle is centerpiece to the skyline view from Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill.
A separate question on the ballot asked city voters whether they supported either approval voting or ranked-choice voting — two alternative ways to vote that allow people to support multiple candidates. They clearly rejected approval voting. In ranked-choice voting, each voter’s top choice would be counted, and the candidate with the fewest top rankings would be eliminated. The process then repeats, using voters’ top choices among remaining candidates for each round, until the final two candidates advance to a general election.
“These voters basically [have] their votes thrown out because their candidate [isn’t] in the running anymore. Ranked-choice voting would allow those voters to still be heard,” Chapman said Wednesday.
