This bill establishes a ranked-choice voting procedure for primary and general elections in New Jersey for various offices, including Governor, State Senate, State General Assembly, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and presidential primaries and general elections for electors of President and Vice-President. Ranked-choice voting allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, with ballots counted in rounds. The bill specifies that the election threshold for single-winner offices is set at 50 percent of the votes plus one, while for multi-winner elections to the New Jersey General Assembly, the threshold is 33 percent of the votes plus one.

The bill also outlines the design of ballots to enable voters to rank candidates, including write-in options, and allows for a minimum of six rankings if voting equipment cannot accommodate more. The tabulation process for elections is detailed, including how votes are transferred among candidates based on their rankings and the concept of exhausted ballots. The Secretary of State is tasked with issuing guidelines and regulations to implement these procedures. The bill will take effect immediately but will remain inoperative until the Secretary of State certifies that all voting machines can support ranked-choice voting, with specific provisions for the Governor's election contingent upon voter approval of a constitutional amendment.
