Digest
HB 540 amends Chapter 2 of the Texas Election Code by introducing Subchapter E, which authorizes municipalities and independent school districts to adopt a preferential voting system for nonpartisan elections. This system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, eliminating the need for separate runoff elections by reallocating votes until a candidate receives a majority.
