As the number of states banning ranked-choice voting is increasing, some are facing ballot measures this November that would implement the voting system.
While 10 states have banned RCV and more may join them this November if voters vote for the ballot measures, six other states will have ballot measures to switch their elections to RCV. RCV is an election process whereby if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, then a runoff system is triggered.
Missouri has a ballot measure for the general election to amend the state constitution to ban RCV and prevent non-citizens from voting.
In Idaho, a pro-RCV group is looking to put RCV on the November ballot upon which voters may decide.
In Montana, where RCV is already banned, a group is attempting to put initiatives on the November ballot that would amend the state's constitution to implement RCV. Both Nevada and Oregon voters will be voting on ballot measures in the general election that would implement RCV in elections statewide if passed.
South Dakota also has a pro-RCV ballot measure for voters to decide on in November.
In Colorado, as a pro-RCV group is trying to gain enough signatures to put a measure on a ballot in November to implement RCV, the Democratic governor signed a bill into law on Thursday that would require the voting system to be tried at the municipal level before implementing it statewide.
