Letter: More choices

Published 12:15 am Saturday, September 28, 2024

Join me in voting “yes” on Measure 117. Voters are frustrated with our lack of choices right now. Measure 117 is a simple improvement to our elections focused on giving voters more choices.

Measure 117 would have us ranking candidates in statewide and federal races in both the primary and the general election, starting in 2028.

It also gives local governments a roadmap to adopt ranked-choice voting, so election officials don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

The passage of Measure 117 would give voters the option to rank candidates in the order of their preference. Ranked-choice voting is an improvement to our democracy, that’s why I’m voting “yes” on Measure 117.
