NEW YORK, NY (04/11/2021) (readMedia)-- THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER ZOOM DUE TO IMPENDING RAIN: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86478861691

Two months before early voting starts in New York City for the largest and most consequential local election cycle in almost a decade, Mayoral candidates, including Dianne Morales, Comptroller candidates, including Brad Lander, David Weprin, Brian Benjamin, Zach Iscol, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Assemblymember Ron Kim, Council Member Antonio Reynoso will join Rank the Vote NYC to rally for Ranked Choice Voting (RCV).

RCV gives voters the opportunity to either rank as many as five candidates in order of preference or vote for just one like they always have. If no one wins with a majority (more than 50 percent), the candidate that came in last is eliminated and voters' second choice votes get counted and so on until there's a majority winner.

RCV will apply to primaries and special elections for all local offices including City Council, Borough President, Comptroller, Public Advocate and Mayor. Voters overwhelmingly passed RCV in the fall of 2019, with 74 percent of the vote.
