An Act relative to ranked choice voting in the town of Concord

This bill requires the town of Concord to use ranked choice voting for most local elections. Voters will rank candidates in order of preference (1st, 2nd, etc.), and ballots are counted in rounds: the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated each round until one candidate has a majority or all seats are filled. It applies to all town offices except single-seat races with two or fewer candidates or multi-seat races where candidates match available seats. The Town Clerk will manage implementation rules, and the law takes effect 90 days after passage to allow for preparation.
