Ballott Measure 2 topic of Anchorage forum

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Alaskans approved an initiative to establish ranked choice voting in 2020, using it for the first time in 2022. Now November’s election is bringing the ranking system into question again with Ballot Measure 2. The initial ballot measure replaced the political party primary with an open one, along with implementing a ranking vote. The 2024 Ballot Measure 2 now seeks to repeal the initiative and reinstate partisan primary elections with a single-choice voting system. A vote of “yes” for Ballot Measure 2 would repeal ranked choice voting. A vote of “no” would keep ranked choice voting in place. Sunday, Anchorage voters were invited to attend a forum at the Z.J. Loussac Library – an annual event hosted by Alaska Common Ground in an effort to create civil discussion among Alaskan voters.
