TESTIMONIALS
"I am a big fan of the ranked-choiced voting here in Alaska, and would like to advocate for this system. The traditional election system is problematic, and promotes those with radical ideologies. I would like to be involved in promoting this innovation and promoting more political involvement!"

Alaska Federation of Natives Endorses Open Primaries and Ranked Choice Voting
The group’s resolution said the system provides more opportunities for Alaska Natives to run for office and get elected, in part because it supports individual views over extreme partisanship.
Alaskans are generally satisfied with their new nonpartisan voting system
A Fairer Election System In Alaska Helped More Independents Win Office
A new report from the McKinley Research Group (MRG) finds that Alaskans are generally satisfied with their new nonpartisan voting system, which consists of a nonpartisan top-four primary with ranked choice voting in the general election.
Open primaries and ranked choice voting likely led to greater political diversity in the Alaska legislature, while their effect on age, gender, and race was less apparent.
