The bill clarifies that elections in Wyoming shall not be conducted using ranked choice voting, explicitly stating that any existing or future ordinances allowing such voting methods are void. It defines ranked choice voting as a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference and votes are tabulated in multiple rounds until a winner is determined. The bill amends current law to ensure that ballots specify only one vote per office, with the phrase "Vote for one" printed next to the description of any office, or "Vote For Not More Than" if multiple candidates are to be elected.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for these changes to take effect. The amendments aim to maintain a straightforward voting process in Wyoming elections, reinforcing the principle of one vote per office and eliminating the possibility of ranked choice voting.
