voting; ranking; ballot format

HB 4058 modifies Arizona's voting system requirements to implement ranked choice voting. It requires electronic voting machines to allow voters to rank candidates in order of preference for both single- and multi-seat elections, while ensuring machines reject invalid ballots (e.g., voting for too many candidates). The bill also mandates specific testing protocols for these machines before elections to verify accurate counting of ranked ballots. This directly affects voters in elections using ranked choice voting, election officials responsible for administering voting systems, and candidates running in those contests.
