Legislative Republicans are working to outlaw ranked choice voting despite the fact the practice isn’t used in Arizona.

The Arizona Freedom Caucus wants to preemptively prohibit any use of ranked choice voting to decide city, state, county or federal elections, Republican lawmakers in the caucus said Wednesday morning at a news conference in the state Senate building.

State senators voted Monday to let voters across Arizona decide how Tucson residents get to elect members of their city council.

Nonpartisan groups across Arizona are working to put ranked choice voting on the ballot in 2024.  One group, Voter Choice Arizona, is dedicated to reforming the state’s election system to move away from two-party elections and hyper-partisanship.
