Ranked choice voting (RCV) can enhance electoral participation, particularly among underrepresented groups, and foster a healthier political environment by eliminating low-turnout primaries.
Adopting RCV allows voters in Santa Clara County to rank candidates by preference, ensuring their voices are heard in a more democratic election process.
Historical attempts to implement RCV in Santa Clara County were hindered by technology and state law, but recent developments offer a renewed chance for adoption.
With strong majority support for RCV across various demographics in the county, now is the opportune moment to pursue this transformative electoral reform.
