Ranked Choice Voting
With ranked choice voting (RCV), voters rank the candidates in order of preference on their ballots. If a candidate wins a majority of first preference votes, that candidate is declared the winner. If none of the candidates receive 50 percent of the votes cast, then the candidate in last place is eliminated and the votes for that candidate are reallocated to the voters’ second choice candidate. This elimination process continues until one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote.
 Annual “Evanston Recycles” Event, July 9
The City will host its annual “Evanston Recycles” event on Sat., July 9, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Evanston Township High School, 1600 Dodge Ave.
Each year, this free “drive up, drop off” event provides residents an opportunity to recycle and donate a variety of items and securely shred documents. This year, the City will be collecting electronic waste, documents for shredding, and residentially-generated, unused prescription medication and expired over-the-counter drugs. No other items will be accepted.
Community members participating in the event should enter the drop-off line on Church Street west of Dodge Avenue. Participants are asked to follow the signs to the drop-off area and remain in their cars. Participants are asked to not line up before 8 a.m. More information about health and safety restrictions and items that can be dropped off at the event is available here.
