New Hampshire Legislature May Pass Ranked Choice Voting Bill, but for Now, Wants to Think About it Some More

On February 13, the New Hampshire House Election Law Committee declined to pass HB 728, which would have provided for ranked choice voting for all federal and state office. But the committee did not defeat the bill either. It will study the issue some more. However, the delay means that ranked choice voting can’t be in place in time for the February 2020 presidential primaries. Here is a copy of the bill.

Tiani X. Coleman of New Hampshire has this interesting description of the hearing, posted in Independent Voting Network.

  1. Most of the bill is a copy of which RCV scheme from Hell – SF, Maine, Fairvote, etc. ???

    Again- see 34-33-32 RCV example.

    PR and AppV – pending Condorcet — RCV done correctly.

  2. Couldn’t New Hampshire just delay the presidential preference primary?

    The constitution has the same limitations that Maine does.

    It would be better to switch to weighted proportional voting for the House of Representatives.
