SB 303 - This act allows municipalities and political subdivisions to use a system of instant runoff voting their elections. Under this system, voters rank the candidates and only a candidate with a majority of first choice rankings shall be elected or nominated. If no candidate has a majority, the lowest ranked candidate drops out and the next highest rankings on those ballots are attributed to the other candidates accordingly, until a candidate achieves a majority.
This act is similar to SB 1231 (2008) and HB 463 (2009).
