Please note: Ranked-choice voting is not required on your ballot. When you choose your favorite candidate, it is perfectly legal and acceptable to ignore candidates two, three, four and five and vote for your chosen candidate as first, second, third, fourth and fifth right across the ballot.
Do not feel obligated to vote any other way.
