CA County Votes For RCV


California's Eureka City Council, Voted Unanimously, to Implement a Ranked-Choice-Voting (RCV) System, which was Approved by Voters in 2020.

City Attorney, Bob Black, told the Council that, if everything goes well, the System will most likely be in Place by the 2022 Election.

In 2022, Eureka Residents will be Electing a Mayor and Council Members, to represent the First, Third, and Fifth Wards.

RCV will be used in any of the Races where more than Two Candidates are Running.

The City plans to Launch some Educational Efforts once Staff gets the Go-Ahead from the County Elections Office.

Eureka City Clerk, Pam Powell, told the Council that since Eureka does Not hold its Own Elections, the Process of Implementing RCV require the County Elections Office to Install a New Type of Counting RCV Software, or will need to Agree to do a Hand Count.

Powell said that the City should have an Update from the Elections Office, by the first of 2022.
