HB4707 prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting (RCV) in Michigan elections. The bill bars the state, cities, and townships from conducting elections using a system where voters rank candidates and votes are counted in multiple rounds until a candidate receives a majority.

The Michigan State House of Representatives passed HB4707 on August 20, 2025 by a vote of 57 to 44. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because RCV undermines election integrity and the electorate's ability to choose the best candidate. By design, RCV favors moderate-to-leftist candidates who often fail to uphold the Constitution. This complex, multi-round system can result in winners who lack true plurality support, and imposes ballot-marking requirements that may pressure voters to act against their conscience. States should firmly reject all attempts to implement this unconstitutional voting method.
