In the 2026 elections, Alaska, Maine, 12 cities, and two counties will use ranked choice voting.

Americans want more choice in their elections. Ranked choice voting delivers it, without the political games.
With RCV, voters don’t need to worry about “spoilers” or picking the lesser of two evils.
If your 1st choice can’t win, your vote simply counts for your next choice.
Every cycle, Democrats and Republicans boost 3rd-party candidates to siphon votes from their opponents.
It’s a bipartisan game – that voters don’t have to play w/ ranked choice voting.

➡️@StarAdvertiser Editorial Board endorses ballot measure to bring RCV to Honolulu's elections⬇️
"Ranked choice voting encourages more candidate and voter participation: Voters can choose a less-well-known candidate matching their views without fearing a 'throwaway' vote."
OPINION: "As general election ballots arrive via mail this week, we urge Oahu voters to take time to closely review the 20 proposed amendments to the City Charter."

Voters across the country love RCV & the additional power it gives them – it’s not going anywhere.
In my home state of Alaska, open primaries + RCV led to more competition & a bipartisan legislature that is delivering results to voters.

These surveys show Americans agree on more than we realize – including how to improve government.
Our elections reward politicians who answer to a narrow base & ignore the rest of us. It's partly why our nation feels so divided.
Ranked choice voting flips these incentives.
➡️@VOPorg & @ppc_umd asked nearly 20k Americans in 39 competitive states & congressional districts about ranked choice voting.
66% say they support RCV for congressional elections – with 70% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans in favor.

Alaska has a long history of an extended vote-counting period – well before the state’s adoption of ranked choice voting.
Due to Alaska’s size, geography, & state law, it could be 15 days before we know the results of close 2026 elections.

This Congress was the least productive in recent history. Nearly 9 in 10 Americans feel our politics doesn’t work for them.
Can ranked choice voting improve government? Yes.
RCV pushes lawmakers to work together & deliver results for all voters – not just their partisan base.
