Voter Choice Act
The Voter Choice Act (HR 8462) creates a federal grant program to help states and local governments transition to ranked choice voting systems for elections. It authorizes $40 million in fiscal year 2025 to fund technical assistance, voting equipment, ballot design, and voter education for jurisdictions adopting this voting method. The program requires grants to cover no more than 50% of transition costs and prioritizes diverse geographic and demographic representation among recipients. This bill directly affects state and local election officials considering ranked choice voting, providing financial support without mandating its adoption. The law amends the Help America Vote Act to establish this new grant program under Title V.
