Connecticut’s Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont tasked a working group with developing a legislative proposal to allow ranked-choice voting in caucuses, conventions, primaries, and certain municipal elections.

Connecticut law does not currently permit ranked-choice voting, which allows voters to rank candidates by order of preference rather than voting for just one.
