## State offices

[edit]

### State judiciary

[edit]

Judges and justices are appointed by the governor and must be approved by voters at the first statewide general election held more than three years after their appointment, and then every 10 years afterwards. All members of the judiciary were approved by voters in the election.[4][5]

On the Alaska Supreme Court, Governor Mike Dunleavy appointed justices Dario Borghesan (in 2020) and Jennifer S. Henderson (in 2021) appeared on the ballot and were approved by voters. Both thus have an initial term of 10 years, expiring in 2034.

On the Alaska Court of Appeals, incumbent judge Marjorie Allard was approved by voters to serve another 10-year term, while Timothy Terrell was approved by voters after being appointed in 2020 by governor Mike Dunleavy.

Anchorage Superior Court Judge Adolf Zeman, described as the "only [judge] with a campaign against him" due to a controversial decision which found state payments to families of homeschooled students unconstitutional.[5][6][7]

### State legislature

[edit]

All 40 seats of the Alaska House of Representatives and 10 of 20 seats of the Alaska State Senate were up for election.

## Ballot measure

[edit]

### Measure 1

[edit]

A ballot measure was approved by voters which would increase the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2027 and expand sick paid leave. The minimum wage in Alaska at the time of the election was $11.73 an hour, an inflation-adjusted amount of the $9.75 an hour minimum wage enacted after the passage of the 2014 Ballot Measure 3.[10][11][12]

Choice  | Votes  | %

|
|

For | 183,744 | 57.98%
Against  | 133,162  | 42.02%
Total  | 316,906  | 100.00

### Measure 2

[edit]

Main article: 2024 Alaska Ballot Measure 2

A ballot measure was narrowly rejected by voters which would have returned the state to its traditional first-past-the-post voting system, reversing the 2020 Ballot Measure 2 which created the ranked choice, multi-round voting system that governed the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Choice  | Votes  | %

|
|

For  | 160,124  | 49.89
Against | 160,861 | 50.11
Total  | 320,985  | 100.00
