Multi-Winner Ranked Choice… -what?

Multi-winner ranked choice voting lets voters rank candidates. If a candidate meets a vote threshold, they’re elected. If not, the lowest-ranked is eliminated, and votes shift to the next choice, repeating until all seats are filled.

you can learn more about Ranked Choice Voting at https://www.portland.gov/vote/ranked-choice-voting and checkout the results of the Tabor Neighbor Multi-Winner Ranked-Choice Pizza Voting below.
