On June 28th, Governor Jared Polis (D), signed Bill HB 1871, which makes it easier for Cities to use, Ranked-Choice-Voting (RCV), for their Own Elections.
The New Law requires Counties to help the Cities Administer RCV Elections.
District of Columbia
On July 14th, a Majority of Members of the City Council introduced a Bill to use RCV, in both Primaries and General Elections.
Also it provides for Single Transferable Vote, for the Races for City Council-at-Large, which Elects Multiple Winners.
The Single Transferable Vote (STV), is a type of RCV that is used for Electing a Group of Candidates (e.g., a Committee or Council). When used to Elect One Candidate, it is basically the same as Instant-Runoff-Voting.
The Bill still doesn't have a Bill Number.
