Richmond’s dueling voting measures

Richmond Measure J: Switch to primary elections still leading in Friday count

The competing Measure L, which would establish ranked-choice voting, loses because it received fewer “yes” votes.

November 15, 2024Nov. 22, 2024, 5:08 p.m.

Measure L: If this measure passes, it establishes a “ranked choice” system. Voters will be able to select more than one candidate.

Measure J: If this measure passes it would establish a nonpartisan primary election system where if no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast, the top two candidates would appear on the general election ballot.

Primary elections or ranked-choice? Richmond voters will decide on Nov. 5

Measures J and L offer different visions for how Richmond elections should work. Here’s what to know before you vote.
