Vermont Bill to Study Ranked Choice Voting Advances

On March 16, the Vermont Government Operations Committee passed SB 32. Originally it was a bill to use ranked choice voting in presidential primaries. But the committee amended it. Now it is a bill to let towns use ranked choice voting for their own elections without a charter change, and also the bill sets up a committee on how Vermont could transition to ranked choice voting for federal and state office.

Vermont has thought about using ranked choice voting for federal and state offices for over twenty years. In 1999 a bill, HB 199, was introduced that would have adopted ranked choice voting, but it didn’t pass.
