NY A00090

Establishes ranked choice voting for all state, local, and federal primary elections (excluding presidential primaries) beginning in 2027, where voters rank candidates by preference and the lowest vote-getters are eliminated in successive rounds until two candidates remain

Creates nonpartisan "top-two" primaries where all registered voters can vote regardless of party affiliation, with all candidates for an office listed on a single ballot showing their party registration

Limits voters to ranking a maximum of five candidates, with ballot instructions specifying how to mark preferences using numbers 1-5

Requires the State Board of Elections to promulgate rules for county boards and conduct a voter education campaign explaining the ballot design, voting method, and advantages of the system

Applies only to races with more than two candidates; the top two vote-getters advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation
