This bill prohibits political subdivisions in Minnesota, including home rule charter or statutory cities, counties, townships, and school districts, from adopting or enforcing ranked-choice voting as a method for local elections. The legislation defines ranked-choice voting as any election method where voters rank candidates in order of preference. Additionally, any existing rules, resolutions, charter provisions, or ordinances that conflict with this prohibition will be deemed void.

The new legal language proposed in this bill is codified under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 204B, specifically designated as section 204B.50. The bill is set to take effect the day after its final enactment and will apply to elections occurring on or after that date.
