HB2807 - Ranked Choice Voting for Presidential Primaries Act

• Requires all State-administered presidential primary elections in Illinois to use ranked choice voting, allowing voters to rank up to 5 candidates in order of preference.

• Establishes two tabulation methods: winner-take-all (eliminating lowest vote-getters until one candidate remains) or proportional (eliminating lowest vote-getters until all remaining candidates exceed a party's delegate threshold).

• Requires political parties to notify the State Board of Elections at least 150 days before the primary of their participation and preferred tabulation method (winner-take-all or proportional); defaults to statewide winner-take-all if no preference is specified.

• Mandates the State Board of Elections release unofficial round-by-round results and cast vote records online as soon as feasible after polls close, clearly labeled as preliminary, and publish final round-by-round results by round and by congressional district if applicable.

• Defines inactive ballots as those with overvotes, two consecutive skipped rankings, or no active candidates remaining, which do not count in any round of tabulation.
