The poll found 25% of respondents said they understand the voting system 'very well' and 40% 'somewhat well.'

I’m sure it will make more sense once ballots are in peoples hands.

Edit Ballots started arriving today, not difficult to understand, but man, it’s going to take RESEARCH to pick 6/19 and 6/16 and rank them!

    I’ve seen people confused by an address field, this doesn’t really carry a whole lot of weight, it may be uncomfortable and confusing at first, and ranked choice voting may or may not be better than star voting, but it’s a step away from first past the post, if parties other than Republicans, Democrats and Independents want a chance in the world, it’s a decent first step.

      I remember reading a statistic about roundabouts that, when first introduced to a new area, the accident rate increases slightly for a year before dropping like a stone when folks get used to it.
