Next month, Seattle residents will not only get to vote in the midterms, but they’ll also get to vote on how they vote in future primary elections.

Two alternative forms of voting are on the ballot for consideration, approval and ranked choice. Or we could just keep things the same.

Seattle Times Reporter Sarah Grace Taylor is here to break down these options.
