Ranked-choice voting

Ranked-choice voting:

Ranked-choice voting will be used for NY City June 2021 Primary Election. Prior to the introduction of computers, Ranking-choice was less, if not an entirely unfeasible method of conducting elections. New York City will use ranked-choice voting for Primary and Special Elections for the following NYC municipal offices: mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and city council elections.

After each round of vote counting, If no candidate achieves half of votes cast in the previous round of vote counting, If no candidate achieves half of votes cast in the previous round of vote counting: The same candidate that received the least number of votes cast in the previous round is eliminated from every voter's ballot.

This procedure continues until a candidate receives more than half of votes cast within a round, or there's only one, the winning candidate is remaining.
////////////////////////////////

Political candidates and parties always wish to refrain from alienating others that may further promote or be able to hinder their own political goals. This method for elections may grant minority voters and parties more effective political influence while also promoting more civility ,cooperation and achieving mutual agreement of benefits among the parties and our nation.
Local, states and foreign governments have sometimes demonstrated superior methods and policies that our federal government later adopted. This may be such a case.
Respectfully, Supposn
