 nRanked Choice Voting, which is also known as Instant Runoff Voting, w
 ould let voters rank candidates in order of preference (first, second,
  third, etc.) instead of being restricted to choosing only one candida
 te. If a voter's first choice is eliminated, their vote is automatical
 ly reassigned to their second choice, ensuring that no voter is \"thro
 wing their vote away\" by voting for the candidate that represents the
 ir views, regardless of that candidate's chance of winning\nGather sig
 natures. Meet cool people. Work as a team. Get Voter Choice on the bal
 lot!\n\nLETS KEEP BUILDING A BETTER BOSTON\n\nLed by Martin Bourqi, Ci
