Alaska Voting System Repeal Effort Gains Momentum

Alaska election officials start reviewing signatures for a ballot measure that could overhaul the states voting system. The measure aims to repeal the current open primary and ranked-choice voting system, which was approved in 2020. Supporters of the repeal collected over 48,000 signatures, surpassing the required threshold. If approved, the measure would allow anonymous political donations, end the open primary system, and replace ranked-choice voting with a single-choice system. Meanwhile, another measure to limit political donations has been certified for the 2026 ballot, while two other measures to decriminalize psychedelics and reinforce the ban on non-citizen voting are still collecting signatures.
