b. Voting systems that permit a voter to rank multiple candidates for the same office; and
c. Voting systems that reallocate a voter’s vote for one candidate to another candidate for the same office.
(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a locality from holding at-large elections or multi-member district elections, so long as voters have one vote per position and no votes are transferred between candidates.
(3) Any existing or future ordinance by any political subdivision of this state which is in conflict with this section is void.
(4) Any election for any public office in this state conducted under a voting system prohibited by section 1 is void, and no candidate shall be elected under such a system.
