The ballot will only list the way the candidate was nominated (i.e., Democratic Nominee, Republican Nominee, or Petition Nominee). If you are interested in learning about a candidate's registered party affiliation or political group, you can find this information on the <a href="https://www.elections.alaska.gov/Core/GeneralCandidateList.php">DOE website candidate page</a> or by reviewing the Official Election Pamphlet when it arrives at your house.
