Alaska Supreme Court Allows Vote on Ranked Choice Voting Repeal

Aug 23, 2024, 04:30 PM

The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled against efforts by groups backed by George Soros to prevent a petition that would ban ranked choice voting from appearing on the November ballot. This decision is seen as a significant victory for Alaska voters, as it clears the path for them to vote on the repeal of ranked choice voting. Alaska is one of only two states that currently use ranked choice voting at the state level, while ten states have banned it altogether. Advocates for ranked choice voting have struggled to gain support among voters and legislatures, with lawsuits failing to stop the upcoming vote.
