Impact analysis
Expect some one-time costs for new ballots, voting equipment or software, and voter education, but the measure itself doesn’t spell out a tax increase.
Voters get more say, and candidates outside the usual two-party lane may have a better shot because supporters can rank them without “wasting” a vote.
No groups are clearly harmed, though some voters and election staff may face a learning curve.
