Re "Move New York City's Primaries to June" (editorial, Feb. 12):
We agree that an immediate solution is needed to address the city's runoff election, which is too soon after the September primary because of requirements with the new voting machines. We recommend a simpler fix: instant runoff voting. New York is in the middle of a major city election year. Moving the primary to June at this late stage will advantage established candidates, while newer candidates will be harmed.
Allowing voters to rank their choices for candidates in citywide offices in the September primary will not change the election calendar while saving upward of $20 million by eliminating the need for a runoff, as one can be conducted instantly.
Instant runoff voting is in use in other major cities like San Francisco and Minneapolis. It is also not a new idea for New York City: the 2010 Charter Revision Commission cited instant runoff voting as a potential alternative to the runoff.
