Ballot Measure 3: Only U.S. Citizens May Vote is a ballot measure in Alaska on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Rewrites Alaska's voter law to say only a U.S. citizen who meets the other requirements may vote, instead of saying a citizen may vote. Citizenship is already required, so the official summary says it changes no voting requirement; no cost to you.

How do we calculate my vote power?

What determines the vote power rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.

Representation: Average · 50 out of 100

This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 735,706 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(735,706 ÷ 735,706) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in AK (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)

Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.

A YES vote means

State law would read that only U.S. citizens may vote, a wording change meant to block any future local noncitizen voting.

A NO vote means

The current wording stays; voters must still be U.S. citizens under existing law.
