      You’re given a list of candidates, and you can select however many of them you approve of being in office. Votes are then tallied, and whoever has the highest approval total is who gets voted in.

        So I don’t get to prioritize one candidate over the other? I can only vote “approve” or “disapprove”?

        These are rhetorical questions and I know the answers, but dang, you failed to explain the “ranked” part of “ranked choice”…
