Prohibit the use of any ranked-choice voting method in elections except for electors who vote by absentee ballot pursuant to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act

This bill prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting in all elections within Alabama, affecting local, state, and federal races. It defines ranked-choice voting as a system where voters rank candidates by preference and ballots are counted in multiple rounds until one candidate achieves a majority. The only exception to this ban is for military and overseas citizens who cast absentee ballots under federal law. The law takes effect on October 1, 2024, replacing any existing provisions that allowed this voting method.
