Ranked choice voting, also known as instant runoff voting, is a voting method where voters select several candidates in the order of preference on a single ballot. Ranked choice voting has been used by certain states, cities, and political party primaries. Recently, a series of jurisdictions have implemented bans on ranked choice voting. A panel of experts, which includes an attorney, economist, and political scientist, will analyze ranked choice voting and present a diversity of perspectives on whether ranked choice voting should be implemented in American elections.
