Alaska voters have decided to retain the ranked choice voting system, with 50.1 percent of the final tally supporting its continuation. This system allows voters more choice in how they vote and who they vote for. The decision, made on November 23, was influenced significantly by Native voters and will also keep open primaries in place. Despite this outcome, the Alaskan GOP has announced plans to request a recount of the ballot measure to repeal ranked choice voting.
