Bill Summary
An Act To Implement Ranked-choice Voting in 2021
AI Summary
This bill implements ranked-choice voting for primary elections for the offices of United States Senator, United States Representative to Congress, Governor, State Senator and State Representative, as well as general and special elections for the offices of United States Senator and United States Representative to Congress. The bill includes provisions for how ranked-choice voting will be implemented, including procedures for tabulating votes and rules to be adopted by the Secretary of State. However, the ranked-choice voting provisions are contingent on the voters of Maine ratifying a constitutional amendment authorizing the Legislature to determine the method of electing the Governor and members of the State Senate and House of Representatives.
