Vermont Instant-Runoff Bill Likely to Advance in Early February
January 24th, 2008
Vermont S. 108, which would provide that Instant-Runoff voting be used in congressional general elections, is likely to advance during the first half of February. The bill passed the Senate last year, and also the House policy committee last year. It will probably pass the House fiscal committee during the first ten days in February, and is also expected to pass the full House.

No state has ever used Instant Runoff-Voting in a statewide general election in U.S. history, so if this bill passes, it will be historic. IRV was used long ago in a few states for statewide primaries.
