AN ACT CONCERNING RANKED-CHOICE VOTING.

SB 951 establishes ranked-choice voting for certain elections in Connecticut. It allows voters to rank candidates by preference, with tabulation eliminating last-place candidates in sequential rounds until one candidate has majority support in the final round. The bill specifically permits this system for presidential preference primaries and gives municipalities the option to use it for single-member local offices (like mayor or city council seats). This change directly affects voters in those specific elections by altering how their votes are counted.
