This legislative bill, SF No 639, seeks to prevent any cities, counties, townships, and school districts in Minnesota from using ranked-choice voting (RCV) or any similar voting method for local elections. Ranked-choice voting is a system where voters rank candidates by preference instead of choosing just one. The bill states that any existing rules or laws that allow ranked-choice voting would be invalidated. This bill, if passed, would standardize the voting method used across these political subdivisions to not include ranked-choice voting.
