HB2552 would prohibit the use of Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) in Arizona elections.
The Senate passed HB2552 on April 5, 2023, by vote of 16 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because all attempts to enact ranked-choice voting should be opposed. This complicated, multiple-round, and unconstitutional method weakens election integrity by allowing a candidate to potentially win without genuine support from a plurality of voters. The scheme’s ballot casting requirements undermine each citizen’s right to vote and could deny them from being able to select the one and only candidate of their choice.
