Washington Post Suggests Instant Runoff Voting for District of Columbia Local Elections

April 7th, 2012

The April 6 Washington Post has this editorial, deploring the low turnout in the April 2012 primary in Washington, D.C., and suggesting that the city consider using instant runoff voting. The editorial is not detailed, and one wonders if the editors are also implicitly suggesting non-partisan elections for Washington’s city elections. Thanks to Rob Richie for the link.
