** Alaska retains ranked-choice voting system after measure recount, five other states reject system
------------------------------------------------------------
A recount in Alaska concluded on Dec. 9, confirming that the votes to retain ranked-choice voting (RCV) in the state, which the state adopted in 2020 and implemented in 2022, had the majority by 743 votes.
The defeat of Ballot Question 2, which would have repealed RCV, is the only victory from the Nov. 5 election for RCV proponents at the state level. Voters in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon defeated measures that would or could (in the case of Arizona) have adopted the system in their respective states. One state, Missouri, approved an amendment to preempt the adoption of ranked-choice voting at the state level.
