Ranked choice voting (RCV) — also known as instant runoff voting (IRV) — makes our elections better by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. If your first choice doesn’t have a chance to win, your ballot counts for your next choice.
RCV works in all types of elections and supports more representative outcomes. RCV means better choices, better campaigns, and better representation.

For single seat elections: Ranked Choice is good, Approval Voting is better, but anything is better than First Past The Post. So I'll happily accept RCV, especially as it opens up the door inches our way inti to better voting systems.
For multi-seat elections, proportional voting should be used.
Approval voting might be easier to implement since we wouldn't have to change our ballots
I mean, we would a little bit. We'd have have to allow for the cast and counted to include multiple people per seat. It's easier to explain and understand for the layman than instant runoff, though, which is a big benefit too
