Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein tweeted in support of a campaign to pass ranked-choice voting in New York City on Tuesday.

The 2016 presidential candidate wrote that passing the measure in Tuesday's citywide elections would be a "potential big win for democracy."

"RCV makes it impossible to 'split the vote', ensures winners have majority support, & makes lesser evil voting obsolete. Vote Yes on 1 to bring #RCV to #NYC! #ElectionDay #VoteOnNov5," she added.

Potential big win for democracy: New York City votes today on #RankedChoiceVoting for elections! RCV makes it impossible to "split the vote", ensures winners have majority support, & makes lesser evil voting obsolete. Vote Yes on 1 to bring #RCV to #NYC!#ElectionDay #VoteOnNov5 — Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) November 5, 2019

Ranked-choice voting, which New York City could implement if passed by voters today, would allow voters to pick several candidates, with the candidate receiving the most top-ranked votes declared the winner.
