Portland just became the largest US city to use proportional representation (with RCV). As the @Oregonian has reported, this resulted in a tremendously diverse and representative city council, including 3 seats for an East Portland community that had none.
The "undervote" in this year's mayor and council races looks to be the same as it was for smaller fields in 2012 and 2016. Having said that, Portland has no signature minimums to run for office. That means huge candidate fields. The mayor and city council races landed on page 3 and 4 of voters' ballots. The city could change that policy.
Overall there's lots of evidence that #ProportionalRankedChoiceVoting is delivering on its promises in Portland. @davedaley3 writes about it here 👇

In 4 Arizona congressional primaries last month, a candidate won without a majority of the vote!
AZ should improve its elections by implementing #RankedChoiceVoting – which provides more choice for voters, majority winners, and stronger nominees! fairvote.org/arizona-keeps-n…

As in previous years, independent and third-party voters could swing the election in key states. If more states used #InstantRunoffs with #RankedChoiceVoting, voters would have more confidence their votes would actually matter without “spoiling” elections. thehill.com/homenews/campaig…
