Alaska is not the only state where voters are deciding ranked-choice voting matters on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Colorado confirmed on Thursday that the signatures for Initiative 310, which would create a jungle primary and ranked-choice voting general election — just like Alaska’s — were sufficient to make the Nov. 5 general election ballot.
That means Colorado joins Idaho, Missouri, Nevada, and Oregon in having ballot measures relating to either adopting, repealing, or even pre-empting ranked-choice voting.
“This is the highest number of RCV-related statewide ballot measures on the ballot in any year,” says Ballotpedia, a website that known for high-quality election reporting.
Two more measures — one in Arizona and one in Montana — are also pending, but would require legislative action.
The Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon measures would adopt ranked-choice voting. Alaska’s would repeal it, and Missouri’s would repeal or preempt the experimental voting method.
In Nevada, ballot measures go though several stages. Approved by voters in 2022, it now must be approved by voters once again, because it is a constitutional amendment. Then, the Nevada Legislature has to adopt it.
As of now, only Alaska and Maine have adopted ranked-choice voting statewide.

The further left, the more RVC is in demand.
Imagine.
Wonder how many will barely “pass” it like Alaska did in 2020? And how many gutless Republicans like the ones here will refuse to do a forensic audit??
The left coast of Oregon will definitely vote to adopt the slimy way of leaving the barn doors open to any California leftist who can’t make it in their home state of California.
Malheur county on the Eastern half has the highest number of registered Republicans than any county per capita but will suffer the consequences if voters are asleep at the wheel.
Any voter in any state that considers that abomination should get their heads examined.
I’m sure the information is out there, but I’d like to know who the key figures are pushing RCV in these other states.
Kendall and the drive by radio host were pivotal in pushing it here, but there has to be an organized movement for the rest of the country for it to be in this many states.
People are easily fooled by the sales pitch. I remember the pitch here in Juneau. Are you tired of a two party system? Do you want to have your vote go further? “Supercharging your vote” is what they say. People jumped on it. Now you realize its a way to split votes so a Democrat can easily win, but we are getting wise to it.
