Voters are encouraged, though not required, to make a selection for each race and for each amendment and blanket tax proposal.After the ranked votes are tallied, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes will be eliminated and their votes redistributed among other candidates according to the voter's second-choice pick. This process will be repeated until only one candidate remains, who shall be deemed the winner of the contest.
