Establishes ranked-choice voting for primary elections to nominate candidates for state executive, state legislative, and national legislative offices, with voters ranking candidates in order of preference.

Establishes ranked-choice voting for general and special elections to elect candidates for state and national legislative offices, while governor and lieutenant governor races use majority vote at general elections.

Repeals special runoff elections for U.S. Senate and House seats, eliminating the need for separate runoff election dates.

Requires ballot design changes to direct voters to rank candidates by numerical order and mark as many choices as desired without assigning the same ranking to multiple candidates.

Requires election pamphlets and polling places to include written notices explaining ranked-choice voting process and that second and subsequent choices will only count if the first-choice candidate is eliminated.
