Elections: voting procedures; ranked choice voting; prohibit. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding sec. 642e.

HB 4707 prohibits Michigan cities, townships, and the state from using ranked choice voting in any election. The bill amends Michigan's election law to explicitly ban this voting method, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and voids any existing local ordinances permitting it. It applies to all elections, including those for local offices, and defines "ranked choice voting" as any system where voters can select more than one candidate for a single position. The bill passed the House on August 20, 2025, with 57 votes in favor, and now awaits further action in the committee on Elections and Ethics.
