- What is on the Alaska ballot in the 2026 midterms?
- Alaska has a Class 2 U.S. Senate seat on the regular 2026 cycle. The governor’s office is on the 2026 cycle. Statewide offices often on the Alaska ballot include U.S. Senate (Class 2), U.S. Representative, and Governor and lieutenant governor. The Division of Elections’ 2026 general-election candidate list includes a U.S. Representative contest, State Senate districts A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, and S, and State House districts 1 through 40. The district depends on the address. That list includes Supreme Court retention and state superior court and state district court retention contests. The general-election information page says general elections are conducted by ranked choice voting, and that judicial retentions and ballot measures are not. That page links to the petitions page for ballot measures appearing on the general election ballot. The petitions page lists 25USCV, described there as an initiative to require that only United States citizens may be qualified voters in Alaska elections, and 24ESEG, described there as an initiative to repeal the open primary and ranked choice general elections, each with the status “Will appear on General Election ballot.” This is a sketch of offices, not an official ballot and not a list of candidates. The final ballot is published by Alaska Division of Elections.
