All voters can vote for any candidate, regardless of party in the primary.
Five candidates, instead of just two, will advance from the primary election to the general election.
If five candidates or fewer run for an office, all candidates will automatically advance to the general election, saving taxpayers money.
In the general election, you can still vote for only one candidate as you currently do OR you can rank candidates in order of preference.
If a candidate wins a majority (over 50%) among the first-choice votes, that candidate is the winner. If no candidate wins a majority or more, the winning candidate is determined by ranked choice voting. Ranked choice voting ensures that the winner is supported by more voters than any other candidate.
