The Council will have a discussion about an Interlocal Agreement with Salt Lake County Elections Division to support the 2025 Municipal Election. The discussion may also include the City’s participation in the Alternative Voting Methods Pilot Project, more commonly referred to as Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), without a Primary election. Salt Lake County does not currently offer support for a Primary election when using Ranked Choice Voting. Under ranked choice voting, voters rank the candidates in order of preference. Election equipment counts the preference numbers for each ballot. If none of the candidates receive more than 50% of the overall vote after the first round, the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated. The voters who had selected the eliminated candidate as their first choice would then have their votes counted for their second-choice candidate. This process of elimination continues until a candidate crosses the 50% threshold and is declared the winner. For more information on this item visit https://tinyurl.com/RankedChoiceSLC.
