An Act authorizing ranked choice voting in the town of Brookline

This bill authorizes the town of Brookline to use ranked choice voting for all town-wide elections, including annual and special elections. Under this system, voters rank candidates in order of preference rather than selecting just one, and ballots are counted in successive rounds to determine winners. The process eliminates the candidate with the fewest votes in each round until a winner is decided or all seats are filled, ensuring that elected candidates have broader support. This change directly affects residents of Brookline who will vote in upcoming town elections.
