This bill seeks to prohibit political subdivisions in Minnesota from adopting or enforcing ranked-choice voting for local offices. Specifically, it targets home rule charter or statutory cities, counties, townships, and school districts, preventing them from establishing any rules, resolutions, charter provisions, or ordinances that would implement ranked-choice voting or similar voting methods. The bill defines ranked-choice voting as any election method where voters rank candidates in order of preference.

Additionally, the bill states that any existing rules or provisions that conflict with this prohibition will be considered void. The new legal language is proposed to be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 204B, and the provisions will take effect the day after the bill is enacted, applying to elections held on or after that date.
