What this bill would do

This bill, called the "Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act," aims to ban the use of ranked choice voting in all federal elections. It amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit states from using ranked choice voting systems for federal offices. This change would be effective for elections held in 2026 or later.

Potential Positive Impacts for People

  • There are no explicitly stated positive impacts for individuals or groups of people mentioned in the bill.

Potential Negative Impacts for People

  • Prohibition of Ranked Choice Voting (Section 2): This section stops states from using ranked choice voting in federal elections. Some people might see this as negative because ranked choice voting can give voters more choice and potentially lead to more representative election outcomes, since voters can rank candidates in order of preference rather than being limited to a single choice.
