Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is at the forefront of electoral reform discussions in the United States, with various states and localities grappling with its implementation, repeal, and potential benefits.
In Skokie, Illinois, the village decided to move forward with term limits on the ballot but not RCV, after months of debate.
