AN ACT CONCERNING THE USE OF RANKED-CHOICE VOTING IN PARTY CAUCUSES, CONVENTIONS AND PRIMARIES, INCLUDING PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE PRIMARIES, AND IN CERTAIN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

SB 1536 would require ranked-choice voting for certain political processes in Connecticut. Specifically, it would mandate this voting method for party caucuses, conventions, primaries (including presidential preference primaries), and select municipal elections. Under this system, voters would rank candidates in order of preference rather than selecting just one. The bill directly affects voters participating in these specific party and local elections, as well as the political organizations organizing them. It proposes a concrete change to election procedures without altering general election rules.
