SAN JOSE, Calif.—In an April 15 meeting, two Santa Clara County supervisors voted to delay a decision on adopting ranked-choice voting (RCV), citing the complexity of implementation and concerns over funding.

The matter is now postponed until at least late September, when the availability of future federal funding is expected to become clearer.
