Establishes a ranked choice voting method for nonpartisan primary elections in New York.

The bill amends the election law to introduce a ranked choice voting method for all state, local, and federal primary elections, excluding the presidential primary, starting from 2027. This method allows voters to rank candidates by preference. If no candidate receives a majority, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and the process repeats until two candidates remain, who then advance to the general election. The state board of elections will conduct voter education campaigns to familiarize voters with this method.
