HB290 aimed to repeal the Municipal Alternate Voting Methods Pilot Project, which supports the adoption of ranked-choice voting (RCV) for municipalities.
The Utah State House of Representatives passed HB290 on February 22, 2024 by a vote of 43 to 26. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because ranked-choice voting undermines the electorate’s ability to choose the best candidate in elections, threatens election integrity, and is designed to elect moderate-to-leftist politicians, which generally means they do not wholeheartedly adhere to the Constitution.
