A ballot measure that would repeal Alaska’s ranked choice voting and open primary system has very narrowly failed, according to final unofficial results released Wednesday by the Division of Elections.

The final margin for Ballot Measure 2, pending certification, is 664 out of 340,110 votes, with “No” outpacing “Yes” 50.1% to 49.9%.

Nice! I hope RCV continues to spread

This election was a massive loss in general. Only alaska and DC voted in favour and a half dozen others voted against and to ban.

That is disappointing. At least some places are wins.
