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

HD 4771 would amend Amherst's local charter to implement ranked choice voting for town elections. The bill requires approval from Amherst's town council (which has already been secured) to change how local elections are conducted. This change would directly affect Amherst voters and election officials by allowing residents to rank candidates in order of preference instead of voting for a single choice. The bill modifies the town's election procedures as part of its charter implementation.
