about Ranked-Choice Voting
Ranked-choice voting (RCV) is a voting method that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference rather than choosing just one candidate.
In November 2022, voters approved measures to implement RCV in all city of Portland and multnomah County candidate elections. The city of Portland began using RCV for its candidate elections in November 2024, and Multnomah County will begin using RCV for its candidate elections in November 2026.
