WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY
California state law limits ranked choice voting to charter cities
and charter counties.
Current law "does not permit general law cities and counties,
nor school and special districts, to adopt alternative voting
methods commonly known as ranked choice or instant run-off
voting. These types of jurisdictions are limited to traditional
voting methods whereby candidates are elected by either
attaining a plurality of votes in a single election or throdgh a 0
run-off election held on a later date. Charter cities and cha
counties, however, currently have the ability to adop
voting methods through the charter amendme roc

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
OCT 13 2019
To the Members of the California Stale Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 212 without my signature.
This bill authorizes genercE low allies.counties,and school districts to conduct a
local election using ranked choice voting.
Ranked choice is an experiment Shat has been hied in several charter cities in
California.Where it has been implemented,I am concerned that if has often led
to voter confusion,and that the promise that ranked choice voting leads to
greater democracy is not necessarily fulfilled.The state would benefit from
learning more from charier cit, s who use ranked choice voting before broadly
expanding f system.
