Bill > HR2561

This bill aims to prohibit states from using ranked choice voting (RCV) in federal elections. Ranked choice voting is an electoral method where voters can rank candidates in order of preference, instead of selecting just one candidate. The bill would amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 by adding a new section that explicitly prevents states from implementing RCV for any federal election, such as those for Congress or the presidency. Specifically, the bill would make it illegal for states to conduct federal elections where voters can rank candidates from most to least preferred. The amendments would take effect for all elections held on or after the date the bill is enacted. By preventing the use of RCV, the bill seeks to maintain the traditional "one person, one vote" voting system for federal races, potentially limiting electoral innovation at the state level for these important elections.
