Bill > H7380

This bill prohibits the use of ranked choice voting, a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference, in all local, state, and federal elections. Specifically, it bans voting systems that allow voters to select more than one candidate for the same office, rank multiple candidates, or have their votes transferred from one candidate to another. The bill clarifies that this prohibition does not prevent localities from holding at-large or multi-member district elections as long as voters have one vote per position and votes are not transferred. Any local laws or ordinances that conflict with this bill are declared void, and any election held using a prohibited voting system will be considered invalid. This act will become law immediately upon its passage.
