Public commenters argued for and against adopting ranked-choice voting and the council's decision to send an RCV charter/ordinance measure to the ballot. A commenter noted Boulder’s historical use of multi-winner RCV and praised Longmont advocates; another (Helen Schneider) argued RCV is like a multiple-choice test and cited few countries using RCV.
