Political subdivisions establishment or enforcement of ranked-choice voting prohibition provision

This bill prohibits political subdivisions in Minnesota, including counties, cities, townships, and school districts, from adopting or enforcing ranked-choice voting for any local elections. It also bars the use of ranked-choice voting or similar methods for federal and state offices. The legislation defines ranked-choice voting as any system where voters rank candidates by preference to determine election outcomes. If enacted, local governments would be unable to implement alternative voting methods beyond traditional one-vote-per-candidate systems.
