Until 18 July 2020, Oleksandriiske belonged to Oleksandriia Municipality. The municipality was abolished as an administrative unit in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Oleksandriia Municipality was merged into Oleksandriia Raion.[4][5]
Until 26 January 2024, Oleksandriiske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Oleksandriiske became a rural settlement.[6]
