Bill > SSB1128

This Study Bill prohibits the use of ranked choice voting and instant runoff voting in any election within the state, including those for local government offices such as cities, towns, counties, and schools. Ranked choice voting, also known as instant runoff voting, is a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference, and if no candidate wins a majority, votes are transferred from the least popular candidates to the voter's next choice until a winner is determined. The bill explicitly defines these voting methods and clarifies that they cannot be used for casting or counting ballots in any election in the state.
