(2) apply uniformly to all health carriers and health benefit plans in the small group market; and

(3) satisfy federal certification requirements for the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace.

(b) For certification requirements established by the board under paragraph (a), the board shall establish network adequacy requirements that are not inconsistent with the most popular health benefit plans offered through the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace under paragraph (c) in 2014 or 2015.

(c) No health carrier shall be required to participate in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace. Beginning January 1, 2015, for those health carriers that opt to participate in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace, the board shall approve two health benefit plans, of which one must be the most popular health benefit plan that a health carrier offers at each of the catastrophic, bronze, silver, and gold actuarial value levels for each service area in which the health carrier offers coverage in the individual and small group markets. The most popular health benefit plan is determined by the highest enrollment inside and outside the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace by number of lives at the end of the open enrollment period in the preceding year, excluding health benefit plans closed to new enrollment as of the preceding year. In determining the most popular health benefit plans, health benefit plans offered in the individual market prior to January 1, 2014, are not included. If a health carrier participating in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace offers less than two health benefit plans in an actuarial value level or service area in the individual or small group market, the health carrier shall offer all health benefit plans it offers in that actuarial value level or service area in the individual or small group market in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace.

(d) If a health carrier or parent organization participating in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace offers health benefit plans outside the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace in the individual or small group market, the health carrier must offer health benefit plans at the silver and gold actuarial levels outside the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace for each service area in which the health carrier offers coverage in the individual and small group markets.

(e) Beginning January 1, 2015, the board has the power to select health benefit plans in addition to those specified in paragraph (c) to participate in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace. In the selection process, the board shall seek to provide health coverage choices that offer the optimal combination of choice, value, quality, and service. Selection of additional health benefit plans must be determined in the best interests of individual consumers and employers and within federal requirements. The board shall consistently and uniformly apply requirements, standards, and criteria to all health carriers and health benefit plans. In determining the best interests, the board shall consider:

(1) affordability and value;

(2) promotions of high-quality care;

(3) promotion of prevention and wellness;

(4) ensuring access to care;

(5) alignment and coordination with state agency and private sector purchasing strategies and payment reform efforts; and

(6) other criteria that the board determines appropriate.

(f) For health benefit plans offered through the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace beginning January 1, 2015, health carriers must use the most current addendum for Indian health care providers approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the tribes as part of their contracts with Indian health care providers.

(g) For 2014, the board shall not have the power to select health carriers and health benefit plans for participation in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace. The board shall have the power to verify that health carriers and health benefit plans were properly certified under certification guidance in place on January 1, 2013, to be eligible for participation in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any catastrophic health plan, as defined in section 1302(e) of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), shall be eligible for participation in the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace in 2014.

"Section 1. [204E.01] APPLICABILITY.

This chapter applies to all elections expressly authorized in statute to use ranked-choice voting. All other provisions of the Minnesota Election Law also apply, to the extent they are not inconsistent with this chapter.

Sec. 2. [204E.02] DEFINITIONS.

Subdivision 1. Scope. The definitions in this section apply to this chapter.

Subd. 2. Batch elimination. "Batch elimination" means a simultaneous defeat of multiple continuing candidates that have no mathematical chance of being elected.

Subd. 3. Chief election official. "Chief election official" means the principal officer in the jurisdiction charged with duties relating to elections.

Subd. 4. Duplicate ranking. "Duplicate ranking" means a voter has ranked the same candidate at multiple rankings for the office being counted.

Subd. 5. Exhausted ballot. "Exhausted ballot" means a ballot that can no longer be advanced under the procedures in section 204E.06.

Subd. 6. Highest continuing ranking. "Highest continuing ranking" means the ranking on a voter's ballot with the lowest numerical value for a continuing candidate.

Subd. 7. Mathematically impossible to be elected. "Mathematically impossible to be elected" means either:

(1) the candidate cannot be elected because the candidate's current vote total plus all votes that could possibly be transferred to the candidate in future rounds from candidates with fewer votes or an equal number of votes and surplus votes would not be enough to surpass the candidate with the next higher current vote total; or

(2) the candidate has a lower current vote total than a candidate who is described by clause (1).

Subd. 8. Overvote. "Overvote" means a voter has ranked more than one candidate at the same ranking.

Subd. 9. Partially defective ballot. "Partially defective ballot" means a ballot that is defective to the extent that the election judges are unable to determine the voter's intent with respect to the office being counted.

Subd. 10. Ranked-choice voting. "Ranked-choice voting" means an election method in which voters rank candidates for an office in order of their preference, with each vote counting for the highest-ranked continuing candidate on each ballot until that candidate has been elected or defeated by the method established in this chapter.

Journal of the House - 19th Day - Thursday, February 28, 2013 - Top of Page 484

Subd. 11. Ranked-choice voting tabulation center. "Ranked-choice voting tabulation center" means the place selected for the automatic or manual processing and tabulation of ballots.

Subd. 12. Ranking. "Ranking" means the number assigned by a voter to a candidate to express the voter's preference for that candidate. Ranking number one is the highest ranking. A ranking of lower numerical value indicates a greater preference for a candidate than a ranking of higher numerical value.

Subd. 13. Round. "Round" means an instance of the sequence of voting tabulation steps established in section 204E.06.

Subd. 14. Skipped ranking. "Skipped ranking" means a voter has left a ranking blank and ranks a candidate at a subsequent ranking.

Subd. 15. Surplus. "Surplus" means the total number of votes cast for an elected candidate in excess of the threshold.

Subd. 16. Surplus fraction of a vote. "Surplus fraction of a vote" means the proportion of each vote to be transferred when a surplus is transferred. The surplus fraction is calculated by dividing the surplus by the total votes cast for the elected candidate, calculated to four decimal places, ignoring any remainder.

Subd. 17. Threshold. "Threshold" means the number of votes sufficient for a candidate to be elected. In any given election, the threshold equals the total votes counted in the first round after removing defective ballots, divided by the sum of one plus the number of offices to be filled and adding one to the quotient, disregarding any fractions.

Subd. 18. Transfer value. "Transfer value" means the fraction of a vote that a transferred ballot will contribute to the next ranked continuing candidate on that ballot. The transfer value of a vote cast for an elected candidate is calculated by multiplying the surplus fraction of each vote by its current value, calculated to four decimal places, ignoring any remainder. The transfer value of a vote cast for a defeated candidate is the same as its current value.

Subd. 19. Transferable vote. "Transferable vote" means a vote or a fraction of a vote for a candidate who has been either elected or defeated.

Subd. 20. Totally defective ballot. "Totally defective ballot" means a ballot that is defective to the extent that election judges are unable to determine the voter's intent for any office on the ballot.

(1) home rule charter or statutory cities;

(2) counties;

(3) towns; and

(4) school districts.

Journal of the House - 19th Day - Thursday, February 28, 2013 - Top of Page 485

(b) A jurisdiction that adopts ranked-choice voting may do so by adopting an ordinance, resolution, or in the case of a charter city by approval of voters of the city at a special or general election. If adoption by voter approval is used, the question placed on the ballot shall read "Shall (name of the jurisdiction) adopt the use of ranked-choice voting to elect local officials?" If a majority of voters voting on the question vote yes, ranked-choice voting shall be used in the jurisdiction to elect local officials. Use of the ranked-choice voting method may be repealed and it must be done by the same method provided for adoption.

(c) A home rule charter jurisdiction may adopt a ranked-choice voting system in its charter. Adoption of a ranked-choice voting system may be made by reference to this chapter in the charter. If ranked-choice voting is adopted by charter, it may only be repealed by amending the charter. Nothing in this chapter prevents a home rule charter jurisdiction from adopting another voting method in its charter.

(d) Ranked-choice voting shall only be used to elect local offices at a general or special election. A primary election must not be held for any nonpartisan offices that are elected using ranked-choice voting.

(e) A jurisdiction that adopts the use of ranked-choice voting in local elections must do so no later than 30 days before the first day for filing affidavits of candidacy for the office for which ranked-choice voting is to be used as the method of election.

(f) Repeal of ranked-choice voting must be no later than 30 days before the first day for filing affidavits of candidacy for offices for which ranked-choice voting is used as the method of election.

(g) The chief election official shall notify the secretary of state and, if applicable, the county auditor within 30 days following adoption or repeal of ranked-choice voting.

Sec. 4. [204E.04] BALLOTS.

Subdivision 1. Ballot format. (a) If there are two or more qualified candidates, a ballot must allow a voter to rank at least three candidates for the office in order of preference. In the case of a multiseat race, if there are three or more qualified candidates, a ballot must allow a voter to rank at least three candidates for each office in order of preference. Regardless of the number of qualified candidates or number of seats to be elected, the ballot must permit the voter to add, and rank, write-in candidates for the office.

(b) A ballot must:

(1) include instructions to voters that clearly indicate how to mark the ballot;

(2) include instructions to voters that clearly indicate how to rank candidates in order of the voter's preference; and

(3) indicate the number of seats to be elected for each office.

Subd. 2. Mixed-election method ballots. If elections are held in which ranked-choice voting is used in addition to other methods of voting, the ranked-choice voting and non-ranked-choice voting elections must be on the same ballot card if possible, with ranked-choice voting and non-ranked-choice voting portions clearly separated on the ballot card. A separate ballot card may be used if necessary. A jurisdiction may deviate from the standard ballot order of offices only to the extent necessary to allow separation of ranked-choice voting and non-ranked-choice voting elections.

Subd. 3. Ballot format. The chief election official shall determine the ballot format after a voting mechanism has been selected, consistent with this section.

Journal of the House - 19th Day - Thursday, February 28, 2013 - Top of Page 486

Sec. 5. [204E.05] RANKED-CHOICE VOTING TABULATION CENTER.

Subdivision 1. Tabulation of votes; generally. The chief election official shall designate one location to serve as the ranked-choice voting tabulation center. The center must be accessible to the public for the purpose of observing the vote tabulation. Tabulation of votes must be conducted as described in section 204E.06.

Subd. 2. Precinct tabulation. When the hours for voting have ended and all voting has concluded, the election judges in each precinct shall record and publicly declare the number of first choices cast for each candidate in that precinct. The election judges must then securely transfer all electronic voting data and ballots from the precinct to the ranked-choice voting tabulation center designated under this section. Upon receipt at the ranked-choice voting tabulation center, all electronic voting data and ballots shall be secured.

Subd. 3. Notice of recess in count. At any time following receipt of materials under subdivision 1, the chief election official may declare a recess for meals or other necessary purposes. Notice of the recess must include the date, time, and location at which the process of recording and tabulating votes will resume and the reason for the recess. Notice must be posted on the city's official bulletin board and on the door of the ranked-choice voting tabulation center.

Subd. 4. Recording write-in votes. At a time set by the chief election official, the judges of the election shall convene at the ranked-choice voting tabulation center to examine ballots on which voters have indicated a write-in choice, and record the names and number of votes received by each write-in candidate. In the event that votes cast for the write-in category are not eliminated as provided in section 204E.06, the results must be entered into the ranked-choice voting tabulation software, if used.

Subd. 5. Ranked-choice vote tabulation. After all votes have been recorded, and at a time set by the chief election official, the process of tabulating votes cast for offices to be elected using the ranked-choice method must begin. The counting must continue until preliminary results for all races are determined, subject to subdivision 3.

Sec. 6. [204E.06] TABULATION OF VOTES.

(a) Tabulation of votes at the ranked-choice voting tabulation center must proceed in rounds for each office to be counted. The threshold must be calculated and publicly declared. Each round must proceed sequentially as follows:

(1) the number of votes cast for each candidate for the current round must be counted. If the number of candidates whose vote totals equal or exceed the threshold are equal to the number of seats to be filled, those candidates who are continuing candidates are elected and the tabulation is complete. If the number of candidates whose vote totals are equal to or greater than the threshold is not equal to the number of seats to be filled, a new round begins and the tabulation must continue as provided in the remainder of this paragraph;

(2) surplus votes for any candidates whose vote totals are equal to or greater than the threshold must be calculated;

(3) after any surplus votes are calculated but not yet transferred, all candidates for whom it is mathematically impossible to be elected must be defeated by batch elimination. Votes for the defeated candidates must be transferred to each ballot's next-ranked continuing candidate, and the tabulation process reiterates beginning with clause (2). If no candidate can be defeated mathematically, the tabulation must continue as described in clause (4);

(4) the transfer value of each vote cast for an elected candidate must be transferred to the next continuing candidate on that ballot. Of the candidates whose vote totals reach or exceed the threshold, the candidate with the largest surplus is declared elected and that candidate's surplus is transferred. A tie between two or more candidates must immediately and publicly be resolved by lot by the chief election official at the tabulation center. The surplus of the candidate chosen by lot must be transferred before other transfers are made. The result of the tie resolution must be recorded and reused in the event of a recount. If no candidate has a surplus, the tabulation must continue as described in clause (5); otherwise, the tabulation process must reiterate beginning with clause (2);

Journal of the House - 19th Day - Thursday, February 28, 2013 - Top of Page 487

(5) if there are no transferable surplus votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is defeated. Votes for the defeated candidate must be transferred to each ballot's next-ranked continuing candidate. Ties between candidates with the fewest votes must be decided by lot, and the candidate chosen by lot must be defeated. The result of the tie resolution must be recorded and reused in the event of a recount. The tabulation process must reiterate beginning with clause (2); and

(6) the procedures in clauses (2) to (5) must be repeated until the number of candidates whose vote totals are equal to or exceed the threshold is equal to the number of seats to be filled, or until the number of continuing candidates is equal to the number of offices yet to be elected. If the number of continuing candidates is equal to the number of offices yet to be elected, the remaining continuing candidates must be declared elected. In the case of a tie between two continuing candidates, the tie must be decided by lot as provided in section 204C.34, and the candidate chosen by lot must be defeated. The result of the tie resolution must be recorded and reused in the event of a recount.

(b) When a single skipped ranking is encountered on a ballot, that ballot must count toward the next nonskipped ranking. If any ballot cannot be advanced because no further candidates are ranked on that ballot, because a voter has skipped more than one ranking, or because an undervote, overvote, or duplicate ranking is encountered, the ballot must not count toward any candidate in that round or in subsequent rounds for the office being counted.

Sec. 7. [204E.07] REPORTING RESULTS.

(a) Each precinct must print a precinct summary statement, which must include the number of first choices cast for each candidate in that precinct.
