This legislation aims to prohibit the use of ranked choice voting in all elections for Federal office, defining it as any system where voters rank candidates by order of preference. It amends Title III of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 by inserting a new section that explicitly forbids states from employing such a system for Federal elections. The bill includes necessary conforming and clerical amendments to integrate this prohibition into existing law. These new provisions are slated to take effect for all elections held during 2026 and in subsequent years, thereby preventing states from using ranked choice voting methods for federal contests from that point forward.
