List of Alaska ballot measures

Alaska is a non-contiguous U.S. state on the northwest extremity of North America. Alaska was purchased by the United States in 1867, however, it did not become an incorporated territory of the United States until 1912.

A ballot measure can be created by either citizens or the legislature. Additionally, any constitutional amendments to the Constitution of Alaska requires a supermajority of the legislature's support and a simple majority of voters' support. Additionally, the constitution mandates that a referendum must be held every ten years on whether to hold a constitutional convention.

Alaska is one of two states that uses a ranked-choice voting system. The system was first implemented in the nonpartisan blanket primary for the 2022 special election for Alaska's at-large congressional district. In 2024, a measure to repeal the system narrowly failed.

As of 2024, a total of 212 measures have appeared on the ballot. 60 of them have failed and 152 have passed.
