Ballot Measure 2 in Alaska narrowly fails, with ranked choice voting upheld by just 192 votes.

Ballot Measure 2 in Alaska, aimed at repealing ranked choice voting and open primaries, is narrowly failing with 50.03% voting against it and 49.97% in favor. The difference is only 192 votes out of nearly 4,000 absentee ballots counted. With around 7,000 ballots still to be tallied, the outcome remains uncertain. The system, introduced in 2020, has faced national scrutiny, with opposition spending significantly more, largely from out-of-state groups.
