Alaska Measure 2 was a ballot initiative narrowly approved by voters in Alaska as part of the 2020 United States elections. The proposal switched Alaska's primary system to a non-partisan blanket primary. The top four candidates progress to the general election, which is conducted with ranked-choice voting. Voting for U.S. president will continue to utilize primaries based on political party, but ranked-choice voting will still be used in the general election. The initiative also requires additional disclosures of campaign financing.[3]
In 2024, another Alaska Ballot Measure 2 was voted on by citizens as to whether to repeal this system and return to partisan primaries and plurality voting. Repeal failed by an even narrower margin.
