On Election Day, voters defeated Question 2, an Act to Implement Ranked-Choice Voting in Elections.
The initiative was proposed to create a ranked-choice voting system in which voters rank one or more candidates by order of preference.

However, ranked choice voting would exclude elections for president, county commissioner, or regional district school committee members.
