Alaska is using a new way of voting in 2022. Each election will have two steps: a primary election where you choose just one candidate and the general election where you rank the final four candidates. 

It’s easy. Here’s a practice election, using your favorite Alaska berries. The berry ballots are available in multiple languages, including certain Alaska Native languages. You can choose your preferred language from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the ballot page. 

The primary election closed on May 31, and the top four vote-getters were: 

  • Strawberry 
  • Raspberry 
  • Blueberry 
  • Salmonberry 

Now we’ll hold the general election, so you’ll rank the candidates. If there’s a candidate you just can’t stand, you don’t need to rank them. Voting will close June 24 at 5 p.m. AT, so don’t delay:
