Bill overview
The Ranked Choice Voting Act aims to establish ranked choice voting (RCV) as the standard method for electing Senators and Representatives in Congress, as well as for primary, special, and general elections. It requires states to use RCV, ensuring voters can rank candidates in order of preference, and prohibits separate runoff elections after the initial election. The bill also addresses ballot design, nonpartisan blanket primary elections, and provides for federal funding to states to implement RCV systems. Finally, it establishes a civil enforcement mechanism to ensure states comply with the requirements.
