New Jersey A2706 establishes a ranked-choice voting procedure for primary and general elections for Governor, State Senate, State General Assembly, United States Senate, and House of Representatives, and for presidential primary and general elections. Under this method, voters rank candidates in order of preference. For single-winner elections, ballots are counted in rounds, and votes are distributed to candidates according to the preferences marked on each ballot. If a candidate reaches the election threshold of 50 percent of the votes plus one, that candidate is elected.
