Ranked choice voting encourages candidates to build broader coalitions and eliminates the spoiler effect, ultimately fostering more positive campaigning among competitors.
Some voters appreciate ranked choice voting for allowing more expression of preferences, where a vote for a lesser-known candidate doesn’t feel wasted if they are eliminated.
Critics argue that the ranked choice system can be confusing, leading to potential frustrations among voters who are accustomed to traditional voting methods.
The process can result in delayed election results, with some elections in Alaska and Maine taking over a week to determine a winner when ranked choice is implemented.
