Alaskan Independence Party Votes to Dissolve Itself

On December 7, the state leaders of the Alaskan Independence Party voted to disband the party.  Here is the story from the Anchorage Daily News.

It is not clear that the Alaska elections office will let the party remove itself from the ballot.  Some states have interpreted their laws to mean that parties can’t dissolve themselves unless the law specifically authorized such action. After the experiences with Americans Elect in 2012 and No Labels in 2024, some states amended their laws to authorize parties to dissolve themselves.  UPDATE:  the state will let the party remove itself from the ballot.

Thanks to Scott Kohlhaas for letting us know.
