Fargo just voted in a new voting system. “Approval Voting”. The text of the measure is here: https://reformfargo.org/ballot-initiative
Article 11 – Election procedures
- MethodologyCity officials will be elected so that each voter may vote for all the candidates the voter approves of in each race. Candidates receiving the most votes will be elected until all necessary seats are filled in each race.
- Ballot instructionsFor each race to elect city officials, the instructions on the ballot will instruct voters with the directions, “Vote for ALL the names you approve of,” with “ALL” being written in uppercase.
- Reporting of resultsFor each candidate’s result in each race, reported vote percentages must be calculated by taking the number of votes for that candidate divided by the total ballots cast.
