The bill presented is an act that amends the Code of Alabama 1975 by adding Sections 11-46-10 and 17-1-6, which specifically prohibit the use of ranked-choice voting in elections for local, state, or federal offices within the state of Alabama. Ranked-choice voting is defined in the bill as a method that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference and involves multiple rounds of tabulation, where candidates are eliminated until one achieves a majority. The bill makes it clear that this prohibition does not apply to electors who are voting by absentee ballot under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

The bill includes an effective date, stating that the act shall become effective on October 1, 2024. It is noted that the bill has passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the certification of passage provided by the Secretary of the Senate, Patrick Harris. The bill is enrolled and awaits the signatures of the President and Presiding Officer of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. No specific insertions or deletions from the current law are indicated in the provided text, other than the addition of the new sections to the Code of Alabama 1975.
