This bill enacts ranked-choice voting for general and special elections for the offices of Governor, State Senator, and State Representative in Maine. Ranked-choice voting allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority in the first round, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed based on the next preference indicated on the ballots. This process continues until one candidate has a majority.
