  • Changes the election method for executive department positions from requiring a majority vote to requiring only the highest number of votes cast, eliminating the need for runoff elections.

  • Applies only to the five elected executive officers: governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction.
