Alaska Ballot Measure 2 is a ballot measure scheduled to appear in the statewide general election currently scheduled for November 3, 2026, which would eliminate the top-four primaries and ranked-choice voting general elections in Alaska, among other items. This market will resolve to “Yes” if this ballot measure is approved as a result of the Alaska statewide general election currently scheduled for November 3, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. If voting on the specified ballot measure does not occur, or the results thereof are not known definitively, by March 31, 2027, this market will resolve to “No”. Subsequent litigation or any failure to implement the measure will have no impact on the resolution of this market. This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from the State of Alaska, including the Alaska Division of Elections (https://www.elections.alaska.gov/).Alaska's top-four open primary and ranked-choice voting system, enacted by voters in 2020, faces a repeal initiative (Ballot Measure 2) on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. The measure would restore partisan primaries and traditional runoff elections while altering related campaign finance disclosure rules. A nearly identical repeal effort in 2024 failed by the narrowest margin in state history (50.1% opposed). The current initiative qualified after organizers gathered sufficient signatures, but no major legislative action or polling shifts have altered the underlying voter divide since the prior contest. Trader consensus favoring rejection reflects the 2024 precedent, continued use of the system in recent elections, and the absence of decisive new catalysts ahead of the fall vote.
