Ballot Measure 2: Repeal Open Primaries and Ranked Choice Voting is a ballot measure in Alaska on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Repeals Alaska's 2020 election system: ends open primaries and ranked-choice general elections, brings back party primaries where the top vote-getter wins, and repeals the 2020 campaign finance disclosure rules and donation limits for governor tickets. 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.
