Washington HB2210 allows local governments to use ranked choice voting in elections.

HB2210 enables local governments in Washington to use ranked choice voting in elections for county commissioners, city council members, school directors, fire commissioners, and port commissioners. This method allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate reaches a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed. This process continues until a candidate wins. The bill also mandates public education campaigns to inform voters about the new voting method.
