AI Summary

This bill prohibits the use of any ranked-choice voting method in elections, except for electors who vote by absentee ballot pursuant to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. Ranked-choice voting is a voting method that allows electors to rank candidates in order of preference, with ballots tabulated in multiple rounds until a single candidate attains a majority. The bill specifies that this prohibition applies to local, state, and federal elections, but does not apply to those voting absentee under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. The bill will become effective on October 1, 2024.
