Colorado Town Adopts Preferential Voting Charter
A Colorado town adopted a new charter by a 2 to 1 vote introducing a preferential voting system. The plan blends direct primary and general election features, allows one carriage on election day for infirm voters, and requires candidates to swear good moral character and party neutrality. The system shuffles votes by first, second, and third choices to determine a majority, with Thomas M. Todd winning the first election despite only a third of first choices. The charter mirrors moves toward commission government in other cities.
