Bill Summary
VOTING -- Adds to existing law to prohibit the use of ranked choice voting in Idaho.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to Idaho law to prohibit the use of ranked choice voting or instant runoff voting in the state for any local, statewide, or federal elections. Ranked choice voting is a method where voters rank candidates in order of preference, and votes are transferred between candidates until one receives a majority. The bill defines "local government" to include municipalities, counties, school districts, and other regional or local districts with elected officials. Any local government ordinances in conflict with this prohibition are void. The bill declares an emergency and states that it will take effect on July 1, 2023.
