New Jersey A3666 allows municipalities to use instant run-off voting in local elections.
New Jersey A3666 permits the use of instant run-off voting in local elections for certain offices. This system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate achieves a majority, 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 Secretary of State will establish rules for implementing this system, and it will not be used until voting equipment and ballots are updated.
