Initiative to change Seattle elections heads toward ballot
SEATTLE (AP) — An initiative that would alter the way Seattle elects mayors, city attorneys and City Council members is headed toward the November ballot.
Elections authorities said Wednesday the Initiative 134 campaign, run by a group called Seattle Approves, has secured enough qualifying signatures, The Seattle Times reported. Under the proposal for “approval voting," a voter would be able to select multiple candidates in each primary race rather than only one.
The two candidates with the most votes in each nonpartisan race would still advance to the general election. In the general election, voters would still select only one candidate.
The initiative needed 26,520 signatures from Seattle voters and the group submitted 43,215 last month. King County Elections validated 26,942.

I think they mean ranked approval, one would list their first, second choice so on.
