Tuesday, August 18th, 2026 Is Primary Voting Day In Alaska

Here's Where You Can Vote In The Copper River Valley 

On Tuesday, August 18th, Alaskans will vote in this year's primary election. We'll be choosing a governor, U.S. Senator, U.S. House Representative, half the state senate, and half the state house. 

There is also a vote for a ballot proposition to cap individual political contributions at $2,000. 

17 people are running for governor, 16 for U.S. Senate, and 15 for the U.S. House. 

You can vote for only one candidate in each category. The top four will then advance in November.
