On page 14, beginning on line 17, strike all of section 20 and insert the following:

"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 20.  Subject to the availability of amounts appropriated for this specific purpose, the secretary of state may provide grants to county auditors and local governments to adopt ranked choice voting as provided in part I of this act.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 21.  Subject to the availability of amounts appropriated for this specific purpose, the secretary of state may provide grants to a political subdivision to make changes to its electoral system as a remedy in response to one or more notices submitted under chapter 29A.92 RCW.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 22.

Correct the title.
