On June 16, California AB 308 passed the Senate Elections Committee with no opposition. The bill had already passed the Assembly. It provides that foreign absentee voters should receive a special set of ballots in races in which there will be a run-off if no one gets 50% in the first election. The set of ballots includes a ballot that the foreign absentee voter can use to rank candidates, just in case the result of the first election is that no one got 50% and there must be a run-off. This isn’t exactly the same as Instant-Runoff voting, but is similar.
