Ballot measures
Two ballot measures are expected to appear on ballots for 2026 in Alaska.
- The "Establish Campaign Contribution Limits for State and Local Elections Initiative" will establish campaign contribution limits for state and local campaigns.[10]
- An initiative will seek to repeal ranked-choice voting, non-partisan primaries, and enhanced campaign finance disclosure requirements adopted with the passage of 2020 Ballot Measure 2. This will be the second initiative attempting to repeal ranked-choice voting, following the failed 2024 Ballot Measure 2.[11]
