Last year, the Vermont House passed SB 108, which would provide that Instant-Runoff Voting should be used in U.S. Senate and U.S. House elections. The Senate is expected to take up the bill in early March, and it will probably pass. If it is signed into law, it will take effect this year. However, it happens that Vermont doesn’t have a U.S. Senate this election, so IRV use in 2008 would only be for the U.S. House election.
