The bill amends the Michigan election law by adding a new section, 642e, which explicitly prohibits the use of ranked choice voting in elections conducted by the state, cities, or townships. It states that no city or township may enact or enforce any law or ordinance that allows for ranked choice voting, declaring any such law or ordinance void and unenforceable.

Additionally, the bill provides a definition of "ranked choice voting," describing it as a voting method where voters rank candidates in order of preference, with ballots being tabulated in multiple rounds until a winner is determined. This amendment aims to ensure that ranked choice voting is not utilized in Michigan elections, reinforcing traditional voting methods.
