Ballot Measure 2State law
Repeal top-four voting system
Today, all candidates run in one primary, and voters rank finalists in the general election. This would bring back party primaries and let voters choose one candidate, like picking one favorite instead of ranking several.
- Yes vote
- Repealing the top-four open primary, ranked-choice general elections, and certain campaign-finance disclosure rules adopted in 2020.
- No vote
- Keeping the current top-four open primary, ranked-choice general elections, and those campaign-finance disclosure rules.
Ballot Measure 3State law
Clarify citizens-only voting
Alaska already requires voters to be U.S. citizens. This adds the word “only,” like changing a sign from “members may enter” to “members only.”
- Yes vote
- Changing state law to say that only a U.S. citizen may vote in any election.
- No vote
- Leaving the current wording in place, while existing Alaska law and the state constitution continue to require U.S. citizenship.
