AB 1121, by Assembly Member Mike Davis (D-48), gives a limited number of local governments (i.e. cities and counties) the option to use instant runoff voting (IRV) and choice voting to elect their representatives. Charter jurisdictions already have the opportunity to use these improved electoral systems, but three-fourths of all California cities and counties are "general law" jurisdictions and are not able to use these systems. AB 1121 would begin to address this by allowing up to a maximum of 10 general law cities or counties to use ranked voting. This bill would not affect charter jurisdictons.
