Bill > HB4058

This bill amends Arizona law to accommodate ranked choice voting, a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference. It modifies existing statutes to ensure electronic voting systems can handle ranked choice ballots and that the equipment used to tabulate votes is tested for accuracy with these new methods. A new article is added to define the rules for ranked choice voting, including how votes are counted, how candidates are elected based on a calculated threshold, and how surplus or eliminated candidate votes are redistributed. The bill also specifies ballot formatting requirements, voter instructions, and procedures for determining voter intent and handling ties in ranked choice elections, allowing this voting method in city, town, or county elections where voters have at least three options for an office or issue.
