"With Ranked Choice Voting in NYC, Women Win"
Before 2021, New York’s 51-member council had always been majority male. Women hadn’t even gotten close to a majority. The best showing had been 18 seats, just a tick above 35 percent.
That all changed with ranked choice voting (RCV). In 2021, voters elected not only a women-majority council but nearly doubled the previous high, with 31 seats.

New Yorkers: Wondering how Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) works? If you hate Candidate X, should you rank them last, or not at all? Here's a good guide:

TLDR: If you hate a candidate *don't rank them at all*. Take "1st choice, 2nd choice, etc." at face value. You don't have to rank 5; you can just do 1 or 2 if you like.

What is co-campaigning? Ranked choice voting leads to a phenomenon of candidates actually working together—rather than just attacking each other.

I’ll be curious to see just how this strategy turns out: “Under New York’s system of ranked-choice (instant runoff) voting, a voter ranks candidates in order of preference. As the bottom choices are dropped, votes get reallocated. Mamdani and Lander urged voters to rank one of them first and the other second, depending on whom they preferred, to maximize progressive voting power and defeat Cuomo.”

they don't do anything because they won't be reelected if they do, because of our primary system and gerrymandering. we need FFV #RankedChoiceVoting everywhere to end the power of political parties, which the founders didn't want to be part of our system anyway. we now treat them like subcultures/teams and it's tearing our culture apart. they have also prevented a compromise on immigration.
game theory makes 3rd parties basically impossible in FPTP systems. I support FFV #RankedChoiceVoting cause it would fix a lot of problems and has some momentum but I know other systems are popular too.

Let’s use #RCV #RankedChoiceVoting and let them have their centrist party (🤮). We can then have party 4 and even 5 to the left, and no one will worry about “wasting” their vote.
#Republicans oppose #RankedChoiceVoting because Republicans are against majority rule.
we need #RankedChoiceVoting.
"Ranked choice voting jeopradizes ELECTION INTEGRITY!" Nope, it just gives voters more choices. 🗳️

they didn't think we'd have political parties. so much of this is about a Congress with just enough people scared they can't make it through a primary if they do their civic responsibility.

Ranked Choice Voting

Here's a guide on ranked-choice voting for New Yorkers in advance of the upcoming primary: https://gothamist.com/news/what-to-know-about-ranked-choice-voting-in-nycs-primary-election-this-month
Major takeaway for those who are strongly against some candidate (like say, #NeverCuomo): Don't rank him at all, and be sure to rank all 5 slots. So put someone you like (I recommend #ZohranMamdani) as #1, and other acceptable options in 2/3/4/5. This pushes your disliked candidate down further than just voting for #1.
