An act relating to ranked-choice voting for presidential primary elections

H 313 creates a temporary Ranked-Choice Voting Study Committee to examine implementation challenges for all Vermont elections (state and federal) by 2028, focusing on voter education, election security, and ballot processing. The bill also requires Vermont's major political parties to use ranked-choice voting for U.S. presidential primary elections starting in 2028, where voters rank candidates in order of preference instead of selecting just one. This directly affects voters participating in Vermont's presidential primaries and election officials managing primary ballots. The committee must report findings by January 2026, with recommendations for potential statewide implementation. The bill does not change general election rules, only presidential primary voting procedures.
