Commissioner Mapps Reveals Alternative to Charter Reform Measure

Measure 26-228 suggests dividing the city into four districts and electing three council members to represent each district. Mapps' proposal, however, goes further to divvy the city into seven districts, each represented by a single council member.

The proposal scraps the form of ranked-choice voting introduced by Measure 26-228 called single transferable vote, which would allow candidates to win a seat on council if they won just 25 percent of a district's vote.
