New York S06302 mandates the use of an "instant run-off" or "ranked choice" voting system for municipal elections in New York City.

New York S06302 amends the election law to require that municipal elections in New York City use an "instant run-off" or "ranked choice" voting system. This system allows voters to 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 redistributed based on the next preferences indicated by voters. This process continues until one candidate has a majority. The bill repeals certain sections of the administrative code related to run-off elections.
