## Resource

Alaska’s ranked choice voting system faces a major showdown in 2026 as grassroots activists push to repeal it, arguing the current setup favors outside money and overwhelms voters with complexity. Opponents claim the repeal limits choice, but supporters insist their campaign is locally funded and transparent, aiming to restore a simple, familiar voting process where voters pick just one candidate. With ballots sometimes “exhausted” and local candidates crushed by spending gaps of 100-to-1, the debate centers on fairness, clarity, and whether Alaskans truly want to keep the system—or return to basics.
