AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish a top-five primary and instant runoff voting system for the offices of U.S. senator and U.S. representative in Congress in Wisconsin. Under this system, the top five candidates in the primary election for these offices would advance to the general election, where voters would rank the candidates in order of preference. The candidate who receives a majority of the votes after multiple rounds of tabulation would be elected. The bill also makes various technical changes to Wisconsin's election laws to accommodate this new voting system for federal congressional offices.
