Indiana has become the 18th state to ban ranked-choice voting after Governor Mike Braun signed Senate Bill 12 on February 24, 2026, prohibiting any local government from using ranked-choice voting for its own elections — even though no jurisdiction in the state currently uses the system. The move aligns Indiana with a growing national trend of states moving to restrict alternative election methods, with supporters saying it preserves simplicity and clarity at the ballot box. Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action and co-chair of the national Stop RCV coalition, has been a vocal advocate for the ban, urging lawmakers to act on concerns that ranked-choice voting complicates vote counting and undermines election integrity.
