Virginia RCV
Beginning in June 2023, Arlington County will adopt ranked choice voting (RCV) for local elections.
How does it work?
With ranked choice voting (RCV), you get to vote for candidates on your ballot in order of your preference - first choice, second choice, third choice, and so on.
Ballots are counted in rounds in which candidates receiving the fewest votes are eliminated. Then, their supporters’ ballots are counted toward the next choice indicated on their ballot.
