What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Alaska is debating Ballot Measure 2, which would replace the state’s current nonpartisan Top Four primary and ranked choice general election structure with partisan primaries and single-choice general elections. The measure would also roll back campaign finance disclosure requirements designed to expose the sources of political spending, including outside money. Defenders of the current election structure have alleged that the repeal campaign is violating campaign finance and disclosure laws.
