Seattle voters are answering two questions: whether to make any changes to primary voting for some Seattle offices, and then, regardless of their vote on the first question, which of the two new systems — ranked choice or approval — to enact.
As of Tuesday night, 50.9% have voted against changing Seattle’s voting method. Ranked-choice voting is ahead of approval voting 74% to 26%.
Proposition 1A and 1B concern allowing voters to select multiple candidates in Seattle primary elections for mayor, city attorney, and city council.In approval voting, voters select all candidates on the ballot who meet their approval. The two candidates with the most votes for each office advance to the general election.
The city would consult with King County to include instructions on the primary ballot such as, “vote for AS MANY as you approve of” for each office, according to the proposition.In ranked choice voting, primary election voters would rank candidates for each office by preference. The candidate receiving the fewest votes would be eliminated. King County would include instructions on the ballot.
The “yes” or “no” question is regarding whether either of the measures should be enacted into law. A “no” vote means the voter has chosen to leave the primary voting system as is.
