Alaska's 2026 open primary saw more Alaskans turn out to vote in a regular primary election than it has since 2014.

It was the 4th largest primary in state history.

Alaskans are more than their political affiliation.

That's why Alaska has open primaries and ranked choice voting, to ensure the power is held by the voters, not political parties.

1947.
Nearly 80 years ago.
That's when Alaskans came together to decide how they wanted to vote.

And they chose an all-candidate primary.
Open primaries aren't new, they're Alaska tradition.

🚨And early voting has started!🚨

We headed to Ninilchik last weekend for Salmonfest and as always, it did not disappoint.

We’re the kind of tired where you need a 16 hour nap and are already looking forward to next year. Which sums up the whirlwind that is summertime in Alaska in general!

The Alaska Division of Elections just removed thousands of Alaskans from the active voter list. Here's what you need to know:

Several thousand registered voters were moved to “inactive” status based on possibly outdated citizenship information, including receiving an Alaska driver’s license before becoming naturalized citizens.
We advise everyone to take a moment to check your status at the below link to be sure you can vote without any issues in the August 18 primary.

If your status is "inactive" or your record isn't found, email or call the Alaska Division of Elections immediately – contact information is found on their website here: www.elections.alaska.gov/contact-information/

📢IMPORTANT: A voter can still cast a ballot in "inactive" status by going to their polling place and asking for a "questioned" ballot. The ballot will be reviewed and counted if the voter’s eligibility is verified.

Voters are more than their political affiliation.

Alaskans know it.

That's why Alaska has open primaries and ranked choice voting, to ensure the power is held by the voters, not political parties.
