What it does
This bill provides for ranked choice voting for city elections. The bill allows a city to adopt ranked choice voting by ordinance for city elections. Ranked choice voting is a method of casting and tabulating votes in which voters rank candidates in order of preference and tabulation proceeds in rounds in which candidates are eliminated and votes redistributed until the number of candidates remaining is equal to or less than the number of offices to be filled. The bill includes procedures for the tabulation of ballots and redistribution of votes and requires the state commissioner of elections to adopt rules to provide for the tallying, canvassing, and tabulation of ballots for an office elected by ranked choice voting.
