Attorney Scott Kendall stands next to the State of Alaska certificate for the election reforms he helped author in a successful ballot initiative in Anchorage, Alaska, on Jan. 21, 2022. Alaska elections will be held for the first time this year under a voter-backed system that scraps party primaries and sends the top four vote-getters regardless of party to the general election, where ranked choice voting will be used to determine a winner. No other state conducts its elections with that same combination.
