Allows ranked-choice voting options for municipal and school board elections under certain circumstances.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities and school boards to adopt ranked-choice voting for local elections through a voter referendum or petition. It permits communities to choose this voting method for non-primary elections for mayor, municipal council, or school board positions, requiring a petition signed by at least 10% of voters from the last General Assembly election. The bill specifies two counting methods: instant runoff for single-winner races (like mayor) and single transferable vote for multi-winner races (like council seats). Implementation requires local governing bodies to submit the change for voter approval via ballot, with the state Division of Elections providing implementation guidelines.
