Graftonites rally for Ranked Choice Voting on Saturday
What the heck is Ranked Choice Voting, Question 2 on the November 3 ballot?
On Saturday, the Grafton Democratic Town Committee, Our Revolution, Our Revolution Massachusetts, and the Young Democrats of Massachusetts Black Caucus are hosting a (socially distanced) rally in support of Question 2 on Grafton Common.
Ranked Choice Voting allows voters to rank the candidates in their order of preference right on the ballot, and ensures that the winning candidate has the support of the majority of voters. A vote of YES will eliminate the problem of vote splitting, encourage more candidates to run, and give voters the confidence to vote honestly, rather than strategically.
Speakers include Grafton Select Board member Colleen Roy and Grafton Public Library Trustee Karen Ceppetelli. Attendees are asked to wear masks and practice social distancing.
The rally kicks off at 9:30 a.m. at Grafton Common.
