In 1996, voters decided on three statewide ballot measures in Alaska on November 5.
- One measure was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.
- Two measures were indirect initiated state statutes.
- All three measures (100%) were approved.
There was no Measure 2 on the 1996 ballot because the Alaska Supreme Court removed the initiative from the ballot on August 26, 1996.[1]
