The Juneau Assembly is mulling over a plan to implement a ranked choice voting system for local elections beginning next year.

Assembly member Ella Adkison proposed the ordinance. During a previous meeting, she said she thinks voters will support the change.

“I think that ranked choice voting, in this case, makes it a lot easier to build consensus in our community to fully express the nuances of every Juneauite’s vote,” she said.
