Will Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) be used in all County elections?
No. RCV will be used only for county elected officials submitted to voters in general elections; not for party primaries. Currently, the only countywide elected offices are the County Commissioners and the County Sheriff.
Please Note: The Sheriff’s office is a non-partisan office that nominates no more than two candidates for the General Election Ballot. Therefore, the Sheriff position will NOT be elected using RCV.
