Coloradans Will Vote On Whether To Use Ranked Choice Voting In Future Elections

Colorado Voters to Decide on Ranked-Choice Voting

What is Ranked-Choice Voting?

Ranked-choice voting is an electoral system in which voters rank candidates in order of preference, rather than simply choosing one.

How it Works?

If no candidate receives a majority of first-place votes, the candidate with the fewest first-place votes is eliminated.

The ballots of people who ranked the eliminated candidate first are then redistributed to their second-place choices.

This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of the votes.

Benefits of Ranked-Choice Voting

  • Reduces the likelihood of spoiler candidates.
  • Forces candidates to appeal to a broader range of voters.
  • Produces more representative results.
  • Can increase voter turnout.

Concerns about Ranked-Choice Voting

  • Can be more complex for voters to understand.
  • May lead to less decisive outcomes.
  • Could potentially favor candidates who are more popular but less qualified.

Colorado's Proposed Amendment

Colorado's Amendment E would establish ranked-choice voting for all state and federal elections, starting in 2024.

The amendment requires a majority vote for passage.

Polling and Predictions

Recent polls show that Amendment E is narrowly favored by Colorado voters.

However, the race is still considered to be close.
