|
The bill provides
for ranked-choice voting for general elections for presidential electors if
approved at a statewide referendum election.
Ranked-choice voting is currently in place for state primary elections
and general elections for federal Congressional candidates. Requiring ranked-choice voting for general
elections for presidential electors is not expected to add significant costs
for this expansion. |
