Places in the US that use Ranked-Choice Voting

Ranked-Choice Voting is a different way to elect public officials that gives voters a stronger voice and delivers more proportional outcomes. Countries across the world, including Australia, Malta, and Ireland use it to choose their candidates. But can you name the places in the US that have made the switch?
Updated 6/5/2021 with news of 21 additional Utah cities opting into the Utah pilot project. A handful of other locales have also changed status.

Updated 12/22/2021: Corrected the glaring oversight which eliminated NYC from the previous version. A large number of cities successfully carried out RCV elections this past November, including all Utah cities on this map. A handful of additional jurisdictions, including the second-ever county (Broomfield, CO) have also adopted RCV.
