RegistrationThe state election calendar says the registration/update deadline for the November 3, 2026 general election is Sunday, October 4, 2026. The voter-information page also lists a general-election registration deadline of October 24, 2026, but that appears to be for absentee by-mail applications, not voter registration. I would rely on the election calendar for the registration deadline, and keep this as a note of inconsistency.Official details ↗

Early votingEarly voting and absentee in-person voting start 15 days before Election Day and continue through Election Day. For the November 3, 2026 general election, that start date is October 19, 2026. The state also says early-voting locations have different hours and ballots available by district.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailFor by-mail ballots, the state says the application deadline for the November 3, 2026 general election is October 24, 2026. Voted by-mail ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day, November 3, 2026, and if you drop one off in person it must be at a voting location by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. The calendar also lists later receipt dates for ballots mailed from inside the U.S. and from overseas, but those still require an Election Day postmark.Official details ↗

What may still change

Because you asked for certified measures only and said not to invent missing information, I am returning no ballot-measure items rather than guessing. If you want, I can continue checking the Alaska Division of Elections until a 2026 general-election ballot-measure list or pamphlet appears.
This uses Alaska Division of Elections certified candidate listings for the 2026 general election ballot. The page is dynamic, so the candidate lists below reflect the certified candidates shown in the official list I could access on September 3, 2026.
I excluded U.S. House, legislative, judicial-retention, and local races as requested.
Some candidate list entries on the official page are formatted with the candidate’s campaign/ballot-name order and occasionally include joint governor/lieutenant governor tickets; I preserved the certified ticketing and party labels from the official list.
The official pages conflict on one date: the voter-information page shows a general-election registration deadline of October 24, 2026, while the election calendar shows Sunday, October 4, 2026. I did not infer which one is correct beyond noting that the calendar is the clearer registration source.
The state says early voting starts 15 days before Election Day, but it also says locations have different hours. It does not give one universal statewide daily schedule on the pages reviewed.
For mailed absentee ballots, the state gives a postmark deadline of Election Day, not a guaranteed receipt-by date for every voter. Later receipt dates are listed for ballots mailed from different places, but only for ballots postmarked by Election Day.
The online/electronic-transmission ballot rules are separate from by-mail rules. If you need those, the state sets a separate application deadline of 5:00 p.m. Alaska time on November 2, 2026.
