Vote Yes on this bill if you want cities and towns to choose ranked choice voting, end local preliminaries, set clear counting rules, allow ranked write‑ins, require voter education, and let communities try RCV with the option to revert after four years.

Organizations that support this bill may include good‑government and voting‑rights groups, civic reform advocates for ranked choice voting, third‑party and independent voter groups, and municipalities seeking local control over election methods.

Vote No on this bill if you want to keep the current one‑choice, preliminary‑election system statewide, avoid changes to ballot design and counting, limit local variation in election methods, and prevent potential costs or confusion from adopting RCV.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include groups favoring traditional plurality voting, some major political parties or incumbency‑focused committees, and taxpayer or election‑administration groups concerned about costs, complexity, or voter confusion.
