All candidates run in one primary regardless of party; the four with the most votes advance to November.

Ranked-choice voting

Voters rank the finalists. If nobody has a majority of first choices, last-place candidates are eliminated and their votes move to each voter's next choice. The forecast models the final two-candidate round.
