In San Diego, the nonpartisan primary will remain exactly the same except five candidates, instead of two, will advance to the general election.
In the general election, you can still vote for only one candidate as you currently do OR you can rank candidates in order of preference.
If a candidate wins a majority (over 50%) among the first-choice votes, or that candidate is preferred by a majority of voters when compared to every other candidate, that candidate is the winner.
If this eliminated candidate was your first choice, then your vote automatically goes to your second choice!
This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of the final votes.
Results in winners always being supported by a majority of voters
