New Voting System Being Put To The Test In Duluth

By KBJR News 1

An innovative new voting system has been put to the test in Duluth.

An organization sponsored by the League of Women Voters and Fair Vote Minnesota held a forum at City Hall Tuesday night, showing off what they call a new and easier way to vote.

The system is called Instant Runoff Voting, which works by automatically re-delegating votes from the lowest vote-getting candidate to a voter's second choice candidate.

The method of transferring votes from defeated candidates to
continuing candidates is just like a runoff election, except that it is accomplished on one ballot.
