If you get behind instant runoff voting it would take literally almost no time at all once you have that implemented.

Approval voting would be even more effective and take even less time to implement.
You'd get a much simpler ballot.
And more candidates than you see today, but fewer than IRV.

Y'all had the chance to vote yes on Amendment 3... Hope ya did.

I didn't remember it didn't get 60%. That is different though because it is only open for the top 2 parties. If there is a new party, it may be the 2nd party in FL.

Yeah it leaves you a chance to vote for your sincere favorite up front at least, then in phase two you compromise if that guy isn't top two.
Sometimes a third party candidate would get in the top two, sometimes not, depends on the race and the year. It's a better situation than what we have now where it's always the same two parties.
Still, approval voting would be better.
