Relates to establishing a county representation system for electing the governor and lieutenant-governor within the state
This bill proposes amending the state constitution to change how the governor and lieutenant-governor are elected. Instead of a statewide popular vote, it would establish a system where each county's voting power is based on population: every county gets two base votes plus additional votes calculated using the Huntington-Hill method, totaling 414 additional votes statewide. Voters would cast a single joint vote for both offices, with the candidates receiving the most county representation votes in each county winning. The change would directly affect all voters and election processes for these statewide offices, replacing the current at-large election method with a county-based representation system.
