Primary elections
Alaska uses a top-four primary: all candidates for an office appear on one ballot, any voter can vote, and the top four advance to the general election. A ballot measure to repeal this system (Ballot Measure 2) was on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot; early unofficial results showed it narrowly failing with many votes still uncounted.
