Residents of Bloomington have made their choice clear—ranked-choice voting will remain the method of electing their mayor and city council. With 51.29% of voters opposing the elimination of the system, the people have spoken in favor of keeping the current electoral process intact, as per
recent unofficial results
released by the City of Bloomington. This decision comes after a vibrant election season that saw an 83.12% turnout of registered voters.
The breakdown of the voting process this year was as follows: 42.17% of those casting their ballots did so on Election Day, while 31.92% took to in-person voting at Civic Plaza, and mail-in votes constituted 9.03%. Interestingly, despite high interest 542 election judges were stationed across 31 polling places to aid in the election. In a statement made by the
City of Bloomington
, City Clerk Jamy Hanson extended a “heartfelt thanks to all the election judges and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and fair election process.”
The municipal elections in Bloomington were not only a referendum on ranked-choice voting, but also a demonstration of civic engagement. “Their dedication made it possible for every resident to have their voice heard,” Hanson
told the City of Bloomington
