This year’s most closely watched RCV elections are in Alaska, where voters will use RCV to choose their U.S. senator, U.S. representative, governor, and state legislators. Alaska will also vote on whether to maintain its election system.
Ranked choice voting will be used in Maine, 12 cities, and two counties on November 3 – including for the first time in Multnomah County, Oregon.
Three cities – Honolulu, Hawaii; Irvine, California; and Longmont, Colorado – will vote on whether to adopt ranked choice voting.
