Vote!: Ranked choice voting

Ranked choice voting is a new way of voting in NYC elections.

In ranked choice voting, you can choose up to five candidates in your preferred order, instead of just voting for one person.

Learn more about how it works:

• Rank the Vote has a good Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page;
• the NYC Board of Elections also answers FAQ; and
• the New York City Finance Board, too.
