Introduced Text

Illinois HB2431 introduces ranked-choice voting for statewide offices, allowing voters to rank candidates by preference.

HB2431 amends the Illinois Election Code to implement ranked-choice voting for statewide offices, including Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller, and Treasurer. Voters can rank candidates in order of preference. Ballots are tallied in rounds, with the last-place candidate eliminated until one candidate has a majority. Ties are resolved by lot. The State Board of Elections can modify rules to implement these changes.
