    Just for some context here - Evanston is in the same county as Chicago, which is one of the USA’s largest cities.
    While this wouldn’t directly impact all of Chicago’s elections, it will have an impact in which direction Chicago may go. If Chicago picks up ranked choice voting, then the rest of Illinois may follow.

      As a Chicagoan currently living out at the fringes of a collar county, this pleases me greatly. Too bad I’ll probably die of old age before it spreads this far though.

        Don’t worry, the next pandemic will probably get you, if it’s any consolation. ❤️

    We have ranked choice for our primaries here in Seattle. The top two go on to the general election. I personally voted for approval voting but anything is better than first past the post. Good to see other communities also implementing ranked choice.
