What is Top 3?
Top 3 gives voters real choices of candidates. First, all voters, regardless of party, are eligible to vote in a primary election that includes all the candidates. Voters choose one candidate. The top three vote-getters advance to the general election. The general election may feature more than one candidate from each of the major parties.
In the general election, voters express a preference in each of the head-to-head matchups of candidates to select a winner who best and most fairly reflects the voters’ choices.
Once all ballots have been cast, candidates are compared in head-to-head, in a manner similar to a round-robin sports tournament.
Head-to-Head comparisons ask:
If it were just Ana vs. Bob, who would win?
If it were just Carla vs. Ana, who would win?
If it were just Carla vs. Bob, who would win?
The voter’s ballots are used to determine the winner of each head-to-head matchup.
