Illinoisans may some day take part in a new way of voting for their elected officials. A new Illinois law will create a task force to explore options of ranked choice voting. The Ranked Choice and Voting Systems Task Force will begin convening to analyze the state’s capacity for implementation of the practice and will release a report in March 2024. Andrew Szilva is the executive director of FairVote Illinois.
During debate of the legislation, State Representative Ryan Spain said the concept of ranked choice voting raises some red flags.
According to Ballotpedia, more than 13 states have adopted ranked choice voting at some level.
