"Participation is key for this system — and our democracy as a whole — to function effectively. Your vote is your voice, and every vote matters." Yesterday's piece by the Fairbanks News-Miner should be mandatory reading. #OpenPrimary #RCV #RankedChoiceVoting newsminer.com/opinion/editor…

If you've ever questioned whether your vote matters in the grand scheme of things, check out the vote margins from yesterday's Primary Election. One of many examples: a race decided by just 19 votes. Think it's remote? Think again. It's directly in Anchorage. #OpenPrimary

One of the many benefits of ranked choice voting is that it ensures that candidates must appeal to a wide pool of voters, rather than one extreme or the other. #RCV #RankedChoiceVoting

We're proud to have the support of a diverse swath of Alaskans, including none other than Santa Claus himself. #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV

"[Ranked choice voting] ensures that the winning candidate has broad support. In a traditional system, someone could win with less than 50% of the vote if there are multiple candidates splitting the vote. RCV requires a majority..." -BigLake Writer #RCV frontiersman.com/opinions/ranke…

There's plenty of disinformation out there so let's have some facts: "Open primaries and RCV do not favor one party or the other; they give greater voice to the 60% of us Alaskans who do not identify as Democrat or Republican. #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV adn.com/opinions/2024/…

One of many reasons why we use ranked choice voting in Alaska is because RCV promotes better representation and greater accountability. Why? Because candidates know they must earn the support of a majority of voters in their community, not just a narrow base. #RankedChoiceVoting

Alaskans of all political affiliations support Alaska's open primary and ranked choice voting. Hear it from Lesil McGuire, who, as a Republican state senator, helped lead the effort to pass Senate Bill 21 to increase oil production. #RankedChoiceVoting adn.com/opinions/2024/…

Alaska's election system reflects the independent thinking of its people. Our open primary and ranked choice voting gives power to Alaskan voters and incentivizes candidates to appeal to a range of voters, not just their base. #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV #OpenPrimaries

Alaska's ranked choice voting gives us the freedom to vote our conscience rather than trying to calculate who has the best chance of winning. It's as simple as that. #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV

"Alaska Native leaders are now working to consolidate support for the open primary and ranked-choice voting system." Alaska's open primary and RCV give voters more voice and power in Alaska's elections. #OpenPrimary #RankedChoiceVoting boltsmag.org/alaska-ranked-…

When political candidates know they might need voters' second-choice votes to win a majority, they are inherently incentivized to appeal to a broader range of voters, instead of just their base. And that means better representation for Alaskans. #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV

Alaskans believe that elections should be about voting for the best candidate, regardless of political party, and that’s exactly what our election system with open primaries and ranked choice voting allows every Alaskan to do. #OpenPrimary #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV
