Easthampton proposes to revise its charter to implement ranked choice voting for city elections.
Easthampton proposes to amend its charter to revise its ranked choice voting ordinance. An ad hoc committee will be appointed to propose revisions, which will then be reviewed by the city council and approved by the mayor. The new ranked choice voting system will be used for city elections unless there is only one candidate for a position, in which case plurality voting will be used. The changes will be put to a vote by the city's residents.
