Other States Say Ranked-Choice Voting is Confusing

Ranked-choice voting, on Nevada’s ballot next month, would change how we vote for statewide offices, the state legislature, and the U.S. House and Senate. Ranked-choice voting, or RCV, would both implement an open primary and ask residents to rank the top five candidates in order of preference when casting a ballot. This, instead of simply choosing the single individual they think would do the best job.

Nevada Policy recently held a webinar that included policy experts from Alaska and Maine, the two states that employ ranked-choice voting.
