What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryBans ranked-choice voting in federal elections
This bill would prevent states from using ranked-choice voting in federal elections. Ranked-choice voting is a voting system that lets voters rank multiple candidates on a ballot in order of their preference, rather than just picking one.
How it affects you
If you live in a state that uses or is considering ranked-choice voting for federal elections, this would mean you could no longer rank candidates by preference in those races. Instead, you'd vote the traditional way by selecting one candidate per office.
