S 3425 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Ranked Choice Voting Act

This bill would require all states to use ranked choice voting for elections of U.S. Senators and Representatives, including primary, special, and general elections. Under this system, voters rank candidates in order of preference, and ballots are tabulated by eliminating the lowest-ranked candidate in rounds until a winner achieves majority support. The bill also prohibits separate runoff elections for these federal offices and provides federal funding to states to cover implementation costs like updating voting equipment and training election officials. It would apply to elections held on or after January 1, 2030.
