- The states of Hawaii, Kansas, Wyoming and Alaska will use #RankedChoiceVoting for their Presidential Primaries. We are helping w/ voter education in those states. They will act the same as a caucus in that voters can have backup choices, but won’t need to spend hours in-person.I’m not sure of the value of caucuses over primaries.

Ideally we would use a more straightforward process that includes ranked-choice voting.
