Ranked-Choice Voting Legislation Proposed in Congress
News summary

The Alaska Republican Party has endorsed a resolution urging voters to support Ballot Measure 2, which seeks to repeal ranked-choice voting (RCV) in favor of traditional party primaries, citing concerns over its impact on election integrity and candidate selection. This comes as Alaska's Democratic Party faces challenges with RCV, including a controversial candidate on their ballot. Meanwhile, a non-binding referendum in Peoria Township, Illinois, will gauge public support for adopting RCV statewide, emphasizing its potential to enhance voter representation and reduce 'spoiler effects'. In Congress, Representatives Jamie Raskin and Don Beyer have reintroduced the Ranked Choice Voting Act, proposing to implement RCV for all congressional elections, arguing it promotes coalition-building and a more inclusive electoral process. Critics in Alaska claim RCV has led to detrimental outcomes, while supporters believe it fosters a healthier democratic environment. The ongoing debate over RCV reflects broader national discussions on electoral reform and voter empowerment.
