A substantial share of Portland residents who voted in last week’s election left their preference for mayor or City Council entirely blank.

    If you cannot compare the previous voter engagement to the current voter engagement then why title your post in such a way? Why blame ranked choice voting for “cratering” voter engagement if you have no metric by which to judge that?

      Because the title of the post a) comes from the original source and b) also has nothing to do with previous elections.

      1 in 5 voters, in this election, failed to vote on the ranked choice options when presented.
