The process, which allows voters to rank multiple candidates, will be in effect for the 2020 general election, but not the primary.
Under the new system, voters will rank their choices for president in the general election instead of choosing just one (if there are more than two candidates on the ballot). If no candidate gets a majority of the vote, the candidate with the least first-place votes gets eliminated. The second choice votes of everyone who voted for the eliminated candidate then get distributed to those remaining. The process continues until a candidate gets a majority of the vote.
Advocates say it reduces partisanship and gives voters more power with their vote. Politicians have to go out and make their case to a wider swath of the electorate. Voters also get more power, advocates say, because they aren’t restricted to choosing just one candidate.
