How this guide is made

Ballot Measures

The wording of each measure is copied word for word from the Division of Elections' official ballot title and summary. The "what your vote means" lines and plain-words summaries are ours, and each line links to its source.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Division of Elections' official candidate list for the November 3, 2026 general election ↗, in the order of the Division's list (your ballot may list them in a different order), with names as they appear on the ballot. Where a candidate lives is not shown: the official list gives campaign addresses only, which we do not publish. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the the 2024 state Senate and House district boundaries for Alaska. Your sample ballot is the final word.
