Fiscal Detail and Notes
The bill provides for ranked-choice voting for general elections for presidential electors if a law establishing a presidential primary election is enacted in Maine.  Ranked-choice voting is currently in place for state primary elections and general elections for federal Congressional candidates.  Requiring ranked-choice voting for general elections for presidential electors is not expected to add significant costs for this expansion.
