Las Cruces Ranked Choice Voting Ordinance 2861

This ordinance establishes ranked choice voting elections in the City of Las Cruces, commencing with the regular municipal election in November 2019 and all subsequent elections. The City Council choice ranked-choice runoff elections, as opposed to to-two runoff elections, because ranked choice voting elections provide cost savings to the city, does not require an additional election for a runoff, and provides voters with more choices.
