威斯康星州提议通过选民公投对地方非党派选举进行排名投票。 Wisconsin proposes ranked-choice voting for local nonpartisan elections via voter referendum.

威斯康辛州的一项法案将允许地方非党派选举使用等级选举投票方式,让选民优先选择候选人。 A Wisconsin bill would allow local nonpartisan elections to use ranked-choice voting, letting voters rank candidates by preference. 如果没有候选人赢得多数,排名最低的候选人将被淘汰,他们的选票被重新分配,直到一名候选人超过50%。 If no candidate wins a majority, the lowest-ranked candidate is eliminated and their votes redistributed until one candidate exceeds 50%. 各州和市镇必须通过全民投票批准该制度。 Counties and municipalities must approve the system via referendum. 支持者说,这可以减少两极分化,增强第三方的影响,而反对者,主要是共和党人,则列举成本、混乱和执行方面的挑战。 Supporters say it could reduce polarization and boost third-party influence, while opponents, mainly Republicans, cite cost, confusion, and implementation challenges. 法案并不影响党派或全州种族。 The bill doesn’t affect partisan or statewide races. 威斯康星州尚未采用这个系统, 虽然它在纽约和明尼阿波利斯等城市使用。 Wisconsin has not adopted the system, though it’s used in cities like New York and Minneapolis. 欢迎通过州立法渠道提供公众投入。 Public input is welcome through state legislative channels.
