What you need to know What you need to know The Alaska Beacon staff, in a collaboration with Anchorage Daily News, Alaska Public Media and KTOO, asked every Alaska candidate for U.S. House, U.S. Senate, governor and legislature their positions on several questions, drawing from input from readers. Most candidates responded to the questionnaire. Along with their answers, the guide includes some basic biographical information, their party affiliation, whether they are incumbents and links to their campaign sites. The guide also includes information about each district, as well as the term length and salary for each position. https://alaskabeacon.com/voter-guides/2026-voter-guide August 18Primary Election Day, polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m See also: https://www.thebiglaketimes.com/2026/06/10/alaska-election-information/ All information herein is presented without any bias, political leanings, or attempt to influence.

Learn about Alaska’s ballot counting process. Alaska’s General Election In accordance with Alaska law, all general elections will be conducted by Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). RCV allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. Only the top four candidates who received the greatest number of votes for any office in the primary will appear on the general election ballot. There will still be a space for write-in candidates. For a candidate to win, they must receive a majority (50% + 1) of total votes cast. If no candidate receives a majority of 1st choice votes in the 1st round of counting, more rounds of counting continue until a candidate reaches a majority. If a candidate is registered as affiliated with a political party or group, it does not imply the candidate is nominated by, endorsed by, approved of, or associated with that particular party or group. Judicial candidates filing for retention will appear on the general election ballot. A space will be provided on the general election ballot for voters to record the name of a write-in candidate.
