AZ HB4058

Authorizes cities, towns, and counties in Arizona to use ranked choice voting for elections with three or more candidates, allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference rather than selecting just one.

Establishes a threshold formula for winning: candidates must receive votes exceeding the total votes cast divided by (1 + number of seats to fill), plus one vote; for single-seat races, this equals a majority.

Creates a multi-round tabulation process where surplus votes from elected candidates are redistributed at a calculated transfer value, and candidates with the fewest votes are eliminated with their votes transferred to voters' next choices.

Requires electronic voting systems to accommodate ranked choice voting and mandates pre-election testing of tabulating equipment for ranked choice contests.

Directs the Secretary of State to conduct voter education campaigns and prescribes specific ballot instructions explaining how to rank candidates and how skipped or duplicate rankings will be handled.
