WESTBROOK, Maine (AP) Voters in a Maine city decided Tuesday that they want their hometown to be the second in the state to use a ranked form of voting.

Westbrook will join Portland in using ranked choice. The method is also used for presidential, U.S. Senate and U.S. House races in Maine. Statewide voters approved of it in 2016.

The method allows voters to assign their choices a rank in races that have more than two candidates. Votes are reallocated if no candidate cracks 50% of the initial vote.

In Westbrook, ranked voting will apply to mayoral, City Council and school committee races. A citizens group led a petition drive to get the measure on the ballot, the Portland Press Herald reported.
