HR 2561 United States House · 119th Congress

One Vote One Choice Act

HR 2561, the "One Vote One Choice Act," prohibits states from using ranked choice voting (RCV) in elections for federal offices, including U.S. President, Congress, and other federal positions. It amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to add a new section explicitly stating that states may not conduct federal elections using RCV systems where voters rank candidates by preference. This policy change directly affects all states that currently permit or plan to implement RCV for federal races, requiring them to switch to traditional single-choice voting methods. The law applies to elections held on or after its enactment date, with no exceptions for federal elections.
