Establishes a ranked choice voting method for presidential elections in New York.
The bill amends the election law to introduce a ranked choice voting method for presidential elections in New York. Voters will rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are transferred to the next choice on the ballots. This process continues until a candidate achieves a majority. The state board of elections will conduct a voter education campaign to familiarize voters with the new system.
