HB3156 prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting to conduct any election and nullifies any existing or future adoption of a voting system in conflict with this measure. The Senate passed HB3156 on April 24, 2024, by a vote of 37 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because all attempts to enact ranked-choice voting should be opposed. This complicated, multiple-round, and unconstitutional method weakens election integrity by allowing a candidate to potentially win without genuine support from a plurality of voters. The scheme's ballot casting procedures cause voter disenfranchisement by undermining each citizen's right to vote and could deny them from being able to select the one and only candidate of their choice.
