Alaska Legislature Adjourns without Passing Top-Two Primary Bill

The Alaska legislature adjourned on Sunday evening, April 14. HB 13, to establish a top-two primary, failed to pass. The legislature did pass HB 104 on the last day. It moves the primary from the fourth Tuesday in August to the third Tuesday in August. That has the effect of automatically moving the non-presidential independent candidate petition, since those petitions are due on primary day. But the bill has no effect on the deadline for presidential independent petitions.
