On March 7, the City of Davis Governance Taskforce voted 8-1 to
recommend choice voting for City Council elections. The taskforce will
present a report to Davis City Council on April 5. If the council
accepts the findings, the citizens of Davis will get to have their say
on choice voting in a ballot measure.
The choice voting campaign has attracted widespread support
from the community, as well as from University of California -- Davis
students. UC Davis already uses choice for student government
elections.
On March 1, Burlington voters gave instant runoff voting a landslide
win. Even as other high-profile ballot measures went down in defeat,
62% of voters supported adopting instant runoff voting for mayoral
elections.
