Here’s a sample ballot from today’s primary in Brooklyn. Voting was for 7 offices, 5 of which were RCV. https://nyc-static.electionhub.com/sampleballots/384760

  Yeah :/ that does seem excessive. Delegates to the Judicial Convention in particular don't look to me to have a role that justifies expecting citizens to choose eleven of them each cycle.

    I believe those, in particular, are part of the party infrastructure, and just on there because it's a Democratic Party Primary ballot. We elect some form of party-apparatus delegates here in California too, though the Democratic Party here holds those elections separately and privately. The only one I've ever been actively aware was happening was because I was dating someone working for a prominent state politician, and got dragged along to vote for people I'd never heard of in some park.
