An Act establishing ranked choice voting for certain offices in the town of Lexington
HD 4732 authorizes the town of Lexington to implement ranked choice voting for specific local offices, directly affecting Lexington residents and candidates running for those positions. The bill allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference rather than selecting just one candidate per office. It requires local approval (which has already been received by the town) before the system can be adopted. This changes the voting method for designated local elections but does not mandate its use or specify which offices will be affected.
