A ballot measure that would repeal Alaska’s ranked choice voting and open primary system has very narrowly failed, according to final unofficial results released Wednesday by the Division of Elections.
The final margin for Ballot Measure 2, pending certification, is 664 out of 340,110 votes, with “No” outpacing “Yes” 50.1% to 49.9%.
Thank you for sharing these links. I was a proponent of IRV, but it’s clear to me now that it doesn’t offer a significant improvement over FPTP. Quinn’s 3-2-1 scoring method is a lot more attractive to me now.
