Wisconsin proposes ranked-choice voting for local nonpartisan elections via voter referendum.
A Wisconsin bill would allow local nonpartisan elections to use ranked-choice voting, letting voters rank candidates by preference.
If no candidate wins a majority, the lowest-ranked candidate is eliminated and their votes redistributed until one candidate exceeds 50%.
Counties and municipalities must approve the system via referendum.
Supporters say it could reduce polarization and boost third-party influence, while opponents, mainly Republicans, cite cost, confusion, and implementation challenges.
The bill doesn’t affect partisan or statewide races.
Wisconsin has not adopted the system, though it’s used in cities like New York and Minneapolis.
Public input is welcome through state legislative channels.
