HB1273 prohibits ranked choice voting in North Dakota.
The North Dakota State Senate failed to override the Governor’s veto on April 19, 2023 by a vote of 28 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because ranked choice voting adds complexity to the election process and raises concerns about potential election manipulation. Moreover, ranked choice voting could potentially result in voter disenfranchisement or errors that undermine the integrity of elections.
