Four States Will Use Ranked-Choice Voting in 2020 Presidential Primary/Caucus Elections

The 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination is Crowded and Competitive with Multiple Candidates already in the Race. With so many Candidates on the Ballot, the Single-Choice Method used to Award Delegates limits Voters’ Expression and Threatens to produce a Nominee without Broad Support.

Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) offers a Solution that Allows Voters more Power and Freedom to Rank their Choices on the Ballot, Casting meaningful Votes that produce a Broadly Supported Nominee Worthy of Representing the Party in the General Election.

You don’t have to worry about “Wasting” your Vote, especially in a Crowded Race. If your Favorite Candidate has Limited Support, your Vote will still Count for your Next Choice.

Alaska

In 2020, the Alaska Democratic Party will be using a RCV Ballot to determine how many Delegates each Presidential Candidate will get.

With RCV, you can Rank between 1 and 5 Candidates in Order of Preference.

You can vote by Absentee Ballot by March 24th, or In Person on April 4th.

The Alaska GOP will Not hold a Primary Election in 2020.

Hawaii

In 2020, the Hawaii Democratic Party will be using a RCV Ballot to determine how many Delegates each Presidential Candidate will Receive.

Wyoming

In 2020, the Wyoming Democratic Party will be using a RCV Ballot to Determine how many Delegates each Presidential Candidate will Receive.

With RCV, you can Rank between 1 and 5 Candidates in Order of Preference.

Wyoming Democrats can Vote Early by Mail, and Mail-In Ballots must be Postmarked by March 20th. You can Vote In-Person on Early Vote day, Saturday, March 28th, or at your Local County Caucus on Saturday, April 4th.

The problem with this is on April 4th, at the Caucus, Voters will only have Two Choices, First Vote, and Second Only if their First Candidate is Not Viable, with 15% or more Votes. If its like Nevada, the RCV Voters Second Votes will Only go to the Next Viable Candidate, and if there is None, Only gets One Vote.

Dates for the Wyoming Republican Presidential Primary Election are still TBD.
