Bill Summary
AN ACT ENTITLED An Act to prohibit ranked-choice voting.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting in South Dakota. Ranked-choice voting is a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference, and the tabulation process involves eliminating the last-place candidate and transferring their votes to the voter's next-ranked candidate until a candidate receives a majority of votes or the number of elected candidates equals the number of offices to be filled. The bill specifically states that the State Board of Elections may not authorize and a political subdivision may not adopt or enforce any rule, resolution, charter provision, or ordinance establishing a system of ranked-choice voting.
