Overview
- Rank MI Vote ended its 2026 amendment campaign after poor fundraising and insufficient signatures, following opposition from Michigan county clerks who warned of complexity and voter trust concerns.
- Voters rejected ranked-choice voting measures in 2024 in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Oregon despite campaigns that spent more than $100 million.
- Since 2022, 17 states have enacted bans on ranked-choice voting, with additional restrictions under consideration in legislatures including Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.
- Alaska’s system narrowly survived a repeal effort, and a new repeal campaign is now gathering signatures, while Washington, D.C., approved the method within an open-primary plan that faces a rocky rollout.
- Local rollbacks are accelerating, with Utah’s statewide pilot winding down as most participating cities moved away from the system.
