Overview: H 3386 - Ranked Choice Voting Ban
Status: Referred to Committee on Judiciary
Introduced: February 27, 2025
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to prohibit the use of ranked-choice voting in all state and local elections. The goal is to revert to a traditional "first-past-the-post" voting system.
Key Provisions:
- Bans the use of ranked-choice voting for all state and municipal elections
- Requires a simple majority vote to win elections, rather than a majority of ranked-choice votes
- Directs the state to discontinue the use of ranked-choice voting equipment and software
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Voters in state and local elections, who would no longer have the option to rank candidates
- Municipalities that have implemented ranked-choice voting, which would need to revert to a different system
- Election officials responsible for administering the new voting procedures
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been referred to the Committee on Judiciary, where it will undergo further review and potential amendments. If passed, the ban on ranked-choice voting would likely take effect for the next scheduled state and local elections.
