BREAKING: Skokie, IL just became the THIRD municipality in Illinois to adopt #RankedChoiceVoting!
58.29% of voters voted to pass the binding referendum, which requires that future elections of Mayor, Clerk, and Trustees be done via RCV. Turnout exceeded 25%, high number for an off-year election!
Skokie voters will now have more choices and more power in future local elections. Congrats to Skokie, and thank you to all who helped get this on the ballot and passed!
