    Just for some context here - Evanston is in the same county as Chicago, which is one of the USA’s largest cities.
    While this wouldn’t directly impact all of Chicago’s elections, it will have an impact in which direction Chicago may go. If Chicago picks up ranked choice voting, then the rest of Illinois may follow.

      As a Chicagoan currently living out at the fringes of a collar county, this pleases me greatly. Too bad I’ll probably die of old age before it spreads this far though.

        Don’t worry, the next pandemic will probably get you, if it’s any consolation. ❤️

      They’re in the same county, but that doesn’t mean Evanston politics impacts Chicago at all. Cook county politics have almost nothing to do with city politics, for both Chicago and Evanston.
