Pio Roda, Assistant City Attorney <br />Re: City Attorney Opinion -Instant Run-Off Voting Procedure <br />Date: January 11, 2010 <br />Page: 3 <br />Thus, an ordinance that allows voters to rank their candidate preferences first, second and third on a single <br />ballot, such that when the ballots are counted until a majority of the votes cast establishes which candidate <br />is elected, comports with the fifty percent plus one voting requirement of City Charter Section 225(b). In the <br />event of a tie between the two highest number of votes for any office, the procedures in City Charter <br />Sections 225(c) and 225(4) would still apply. <br />RP:ai <br />1362173.1 <br />
