Ballot Measure 2 would repeal parts of newly passed Ballot Measure 1

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (9/14/2026) — In a recent ADN article, Iris Samuels reported that Ballot Measure 2 would repeal parts of the newly-passed Ballot Measure 1, which appeared on the primary ballot and passed with more than 70% support.

Ballot Measure 1 implements contribution limits to campaigns for state and local office, including for campaigns for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Ballot Measure 2 would repeal parts of this newly passed measure before they could even take effect by striking out contribution limits for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. 

“Alaskans have already voted for our election system twice. Just a few weeks ago, we voted for limits on contributions to gubernatorial races. It’s clear the repeal campaign and their billionaire backers don’t care about the will of Alaska voters,” said Bronson Frye, chair of the No on 2 campaign.

Ballot Measure 2 would repeal Alaska’s three-part election system passed in 2020, including nation-leading dark money disclosure laws, open primaries, and ranked choice voting. In addition to repealing parts of the newly passed August ballot measure, Ballot Measure 2 would remove requirements for donors to disclose the true source of contributions over $2,000, remove requirements for “paid for by” disclosures in all paid communications, remove fines for intentional violations of campaign finance law, and more. 

The No on 2 campaign is proud to comply with these campaign finance transparency requirements. In addition, the campaign maintains an updated list of its supporters on its website, because Alaskans should have a right to know who is spending in our elections.
