Alaska State Trial Court Says Initiative for a Top-Four System, Combined with Campaign Finance Restrictions, Complies with Single Subject

Alaska, like most states, requires that initiatives be a single subject. An initiative petition is circulating in Alaska to have a top-four election system with ranked choice voting in the general election (but not the primary). The same initiative also imposes campaign finance restrictions.

On October 28, a State Trial court ruled that the initiative is a single subject, “election law.” The state will ask the State Supreme Court to review that ruling. See this story.
