Directs the state board of elections to conduct a study on the implementation and impact of ranked choice voting in New York state
This bill directs the New York State Board of Elections to conduct a comprehensive study on ranked choice voting for both primary and general elections. The study will examine various factors such as voter turnout, campaign funding, implementation costs, data security, and the time required to count votes compared to traditional methods. It also requires the board to gather input from local election officials and analyze how ranked choice voting has worked in other states and New York City. Within one year of the bill taking effect, the board must submit a public report with its findings and recommendations to the state legislature.
