House Bill 2202 - IRV option for cities and local taxing entities

House Bill 2202 has been introduced. It will give cities and other local taxing entities in Pierce County the option to use IRV to elect their officials. This bill is the companion bill to Senate Bill 6000 introduced on Thursday.

The bill would allow cities and other local taxing entities in other counties to use IRV if their auditor acquired the software to count the votes. However, at this time, only Pierce County is working on acquiring the software.
