Ranked Voting Proposal
 

Fine for a Primary.  Current voting system not broken, so what are advantages for wanting this change -- I need to be fully educated  on this process before making a final decision.

This will create extra training for Chiefs/Assistant Chiefs and the Officers of Election to make sure everyone understands this process.  Not to mention having to re-train the public on a new voting method.  This has a ring of "voter exclusion" to my ears.

What are the extra costs or new equipment needs effecting our budgets?

How about Legislators talking to their local Registrar before suggesting changes, please!
