Re-Elect Jim Moeller

2005-2066 Session

Summary:

Upon receiving sufficient notification from a qualifying county auditor by January 1, 2007, the Office of the Secretary of State (OSOS) must conduct a five-year pilot project to study the effects of using IRV as a local option for nonpartisan offices in any qualifying city. The pilot project must begin by August 1, 2008, and conclude by July 1, 2013.

For the purposes of the pilot project, a qualifying city must: hold such an election. If the county auditor notifies the city that existing county election equipment is insufficient for the conduct of an IRV election, the city and county must reach an agreement for the purchase of any new equipment required for the election. The returns of an IRV election may, however, be canvassed by hand. .
