flag Wisconsin proposes ranked-choice voting for local nonpartisan elections via voter referendum.

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