About Voting
Cambridge has a ranked choice system, which might be different than what you’re used to. Essentially, you'll be given a ballot with a list of the candidates, and you will fill in a bubble for the rank you want to give them.
So you'll start with something like this:
Seabiscuit | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Phar Lap | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Secretariat | 1 | 2 | 3 |
And turn in something like this:
Seabiscuit | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Phar Lap | 2 | 3 | |
Secretariat | 1 | 3 |
Counting the Votes
