2019 Bill(s)
HB 28 Sponsor:Stacy, Dan Status: H Elections Description: Require voting be by ranked choice for local elections. If no candidate gets a majority of the first-choice votes, continue a process by eliminating the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes until someone gets a majority. If that does not produce someone with the resulting majority, use another process of ranked choices to select a winner. In 2017 a similar bill (HB 856) was reported out "Do Not Pass" by the H Elections Committee. After three days without a motion, under House rules the bill was tabled.

Note: The descriptions of bills, amendments and roll-call votes are written by MDN journalists. MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
