2026 Ballot Measures – Are you Confused?

2026 Ballot Measures – Are you Confused?

One of Alaska Common Ground’s core missions is to help Alaskans become informed and engaged participants in our democracy by providing balanced, nonpartisan information on issues affecting our state.

In that spirit, we’ve prepared a brief guide to Alaska’s statewide ballot measures to help clarify what each measure would do—and what a “Yes” or “No” vote means.

The guide covers:

  • Ballot Measure 1 (August Primary): Campaign contribution limits.
  • Ballot Measure 2 (November General Election): Proposed repeal of open primaries, ranked choice voting, and certain campaign finance disclosure requirements.
  • Ballot Measure 3 (November General Election): A proposed change to the wording of Alaska’s citizenship requirement for voting.

For each measure, you’ll find a straightforward explanation of the proposal and an overview of what the “Yes” and “No” votes mean.
