The report outlines the results of the 2014 survey of RVC and non-RCV cities in California. It finds that voters perceive less criticism between candidates and observe lower levels of negative campaigning in elections conducted using RCV than do those voters in elections using the more adversarial plurality system. Results of the 2014 survey also suggest that most voters easily understand RCV ballot instructions and want RCV to be used in their local elections.
