Citizenship-Only Voting Requirement
A citizen-initiated ballot measure (Ballot Measure 3) is on Alaska's November 2026 ballot that would amend state law to explicitly state that only U.S. citizens may vote in any election in Alaska. Proponents argue it closes a potential legal gap; opponents contend existing law already bars non-citizens from voting and the measure is unnecessary.

Positions on this issue · liberal → conservative
- Oppose the measure; it is redundant and could be used to suppress legitimate voter participation.
- Oppose the measure; existing state and federal law already prohibits non-citizen voting.
- Neutral — current law may be sufficient, but an explicit clarification is not inherently harmful.
- Support the measure as a reasonable, explicit reaffirmation of citizenship as a voting requirement.
- Strongly support the measure; explicit statutory language is essential to protect election integrity.
