In 2020, Massachusetts voters shot down a ballot question that would have implemented ranked-choice voting across the commonwealth.

Now, a coalition of advocates wants Boston to take up the practice on the municipal level—and they've got the support of some key leaders in the city.

Nathan Lockwood, executive director of the advocacy group Rank the Vote, joins Radio Boston to discuss.

This segment aired on September 23, 2024.
