An Act relative to the implementation of the charter for the city known as the town of Amherst

This bill authorizes the Town of Amherst to use ranked-choice voting exclusively for its municipal elections, overriding standard state election laws. It establishes specific definitions for election terms and mandates that ballots allow voters to rank candidates by preference. The legislation also details a precise mathematical process for counting votes, where ballots are distributed in rounds to elect candidates who reach a vote threshold or eliminate those with the fewest votes.
