Alaska Governor Signs Bill that Eases Definition of a Qualified Party

On September 12, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy signed SB 161, which eases the definition of a qualified party. The old law required registration equal to 3% of the last vote cast, and was the nation’s most severe registration test for party status except for Pennsylvania’s 15%. The new law requires exactly 5,000 registrations.

The immediate effect is to restore the Libertarian Party’s qualified status, which will save it from having to petition for its presidential nominee.
